I join Lennards outburst at DAMIOWH today, about the verdict of Michael Jackson. Beeing guitly or not, being a freak or not, the case on Jackson have never raised a public debate of the increasing problem of paedophilia.The focus have merely been a celebrity thing, a 3 month farce with an unproportional newscoverage, and the verdict per se is up there with OJ Simpson and Kobe Bryant, maybe in a feeble attemot to say that the system treat blacks just, or more likely: The juridical system works differently for celebs.
What can be done to take focus of issues as mentioned, and The Iraq Crisis (thats the official name, not war, but crisis) is being done, and the public swallows. Over the last three years salenumbers of pure celeb-zines as US Weekly, National Inquirer etc. has skyrocketed, TV is dominated by reality and make-over shows. The narrative: forgetttaaboutit!

The US have the highest number of kids living under exteme poverty in the industrialized world. 60.000 kids have been killed by hand-guns over the last decade...many more than US soldiers killed in Vietnam, and in less time...a healthy democracy? A rolemodel?

If you look closer I would say this country shows all the signs on the narrow street to fascism.

Look me up in ten years end tell me I was right.
