Please, let us not rush to blame abuse as the precursor to all strange behavior. This is not to say abuse does not happen, or does not have an impact on each it touches. However, there are millions who have been abused who have gone on and will go on to lead productive, "normal", harmless lives (even without therapy). We think of the horror of child abuse in western counties, but do not forget the everyday practices in other places. There are women out there that were "circumcised" and brought up in rituals of male superiority that lead very modern "normal" lives. I have very personal experiences, and have MANY friends who have had terrible experiences (some much worse than MJ) who have grown the fuck up and owned their lives. How about all the middle-class tenement, prairie, hut-living people of the early Americas, present natives, etc, who don't have enough room to not do IT in the same room? How about Mike's a very talented freak/dork who didn't have the advantage of an honest friend to tell him he doesn't have to act like that to get people to like him? Give me break people, because MJ's nothing but a spoiled child who grew up with role models that sucked and always had too much money for anyone to teach him the rudiments of being a grown-up. And I still think he could be a tranny.
