Micheal Jackson's Death: Food for thought:

If you were to look at the man's death objectively. His history. The Pepsi commercial fiasco and the amount of scar tissue left by it. The incredible toll he put on his body for the sake of entertaining others and bringing others joy. Jackson must have been in immense pain every second of every day. Women, think back to the intense pain of labor contractions... now imagine having to endure that not for hours, or days, but months... years,.. non stop, no break. Constant. How would that effect your ability to manage everyday tasks, staying a top of responsibilities, relationships with friends and family. Indeed after just a few months you would be pleading with someone to shoot you and no matter how strong your desire to live there are just degrees of pain that are just unlivable and enduring for years is nothing short of miraculous. But the guy kept going for the sake of others but deep down he knew he couldn't endure it much longer. The "THIS IS IT" tour should have been a red flag to that. How much more subtle could the guy be. One last project, pushed himself through one last project and then indeed 'that was it' . It's naive to think that it was an accidental overdose. That doctor deserves a huge pat on the back and much good karma, for he more likely than not was asked to humanely put him to sleep (this country tends to show more humanity to animals than it does to people, unfortunately many people have to die as a result of it) What his personal physician did was a tremendously compassionate act which he knew he would become a sacrificial lamb in doing so. Rarely do you see such compassion and devotion. Hats off to him

This is it, indeed.....
