Many know Michael Jackson, and know that he really wants to help children. And did such things a pay for desperately in the direction of kids troubled him greatly. And whatever people believe he actually did, he clearly modified his behavior somewhat with the idea that if he didn’t do so it might hurt a child.
However the above could apply to many who have been accused of pedophilia. Others, who say something in support of an accused person, don’t have thousands doing likewise like with Michael Jackson and they end up sometimes being accused or suspected themselves if they support too much a friend who was been accused.
This isn’t a call to legalize all consenting sex regardless of age. Children losing their childhood, and slum kids getting a high paying employment only to lose their ability to make a living when they grow up would be a grimmer future. Think of a child who might be afraid to make new friends because his older lover would be jealous. Or an adult jealous that a child they are a care giver of might win the favors of their lover. The adult dating rituals would be especially harsh for young children to participate in.
Nevertheless I think something should be done to lessen the growing throw-away-the-key attitude toward people who we all know far less than Michael Jackson. And perhaps try to figure out what’s really behind the hysterical witch-hunt.
Sometimes for a fleeting moment a parent or care giver might have a thought that they wonder whether it is inappropriate. This may lead to not going in that direction but also to avoiding getting close to a child. Denying the child desperately needed attention. Others especially men might after looking nicely in the direction of a child face suspicion and learn to look the other way. People avoiding the hassles of childcare work, plus those deigned being allowed to do so, means ever more expensive childcare, and Anglo-American culture being far colder than Hispanic or Arab culture. Something is wrong with our attempts to hold on to what is left of our moral order.

Waking up to a Nightmare of a Terror Attack
ReplyDeleteI had a nightmare last night about being unable to report to homeland security about an al Qaeda attack that could have been hundreds of times worse then it was. I don’t know how to organize my blog (this is Richard posting) so this won’t be the first entry crowding everything else out and hope posting it as a comment it will get its own link others could refer to.
In the dream, a car fell through the pavement at 11th and Market in Philadelphia. There were two cops on the concourse below where I was, and a small burnt wreck near by where a motorcycle had been on fire and apparently I missed all the commotion earlier. While I was there one officer pushed at the ceiling of the concourse where light appeared about 20 feet away with a pole and another piece fell, big enough for a car to fall through. One officer with the name tag was friendly enough, I now can’t remember his name but did so before I began to type, didn’t seem to mind I was writing it down to tell Homeland Security. We seemed to know each other from being at demonstrations earlier, but he didn’t seem to be in any hurry to call homeland security concerning my idea at al Qaeda planed to have a massive number of officers and firefighters killed responding to the first motorcycle fire, then burnt up when the falling cars caught fire.
The first store that I went into to dial 9/11 and ask for homeland security was a Chinese takeout who handed me their cell phone. I got an animal control tape and when I tried to dial again it turned out also to be an orange and I couldn’t find the dial. I payed for the orange and tried to call 9/11 from a payphone on the street but couldn’t find one that worked. Finally went to the Federal Building at 6th and Market to talk to Homeland Security directly, but couldn’t get through the metal detectors and begging the guard to call homeland security himself, I woke up.
Anyway many years ago, while awake, I was convinced that al Qaeda wanted to US to seize Afghanistan for a while in preference of the Northern Alliance slowing taking over. And did a lot of things to bait us to attack moderate Muslims in order for them to become militants. And wanted detainees mistreated, sabotaging effects to stop it like when Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s speech calling for detention reform was cut off the air by reports of Nick Burg’s beheading.

I also think al Qaeda would be happy to try to persuade a released detainee to be the nominal sponsor of the next al Qaeda attack hoping to embarrass the Obama administration enough to resign or lose the next midterm election so they can stop Obama from getting in the way of them making the Muslim world militant. Hoping the next President will be like Cheney getting the Muslim World militant and getting the US to stop advocating and pushing subversive Western ideas like democracy.
