The petition
It has come to the attention of Michael Jackson fans that Neverland has been dismantled and is owned now by a group of investors. We petition for the new owners to restore a portion of Neverland as a memorial to Michael Jackson, similar to Graceland, to immortalize Michael & his music. Michael Jackson's body should also be laid to rest at Neverland with an eternal flame so his fans world-wide and future generations can pay homage to him forever.

With over 2800 acres, up to 500 acres could be set aside for as a memorial park, accommodating millions of visitors per year. Graceland has approx 700,000 visitors per year. Yes, Michael was torn about returning to Neverland due to his past legal issues in which he was later acquitted; however, we know as fans that he deeply loved Neverland because it recaptured his missed childhood. It's obvious that Neverland remained dear in his heart, given the settlement he reached in November 2008, wherein he still retains a stake in Neverland. So, return the amusment rides, set up his home for tours, display his memorabalia, sell paraphenalia & music, set up a Thriller Attraction (Michael loved horror films), etc. With an admission price up to $50 (Graceland at 13 acres charges $33), Neverland could raise millions to help pay off his debt and raise money for his first love - disadvantaged children.

Neverland manifested his love for disadvantaged children worldwide, as referenced in the song he co-wrote, "We are the World." There are many children who will miss their childhood, due to illness, poverty, lack of parents, war, etc...Neverland will be that place where children, like Michael, can be a "child", release their spirit and live free!

The fans "Never Can Say Goodbye" to Michael.

words In the profile of...Rod Gesner (?)


Lets protect Michael Jackson´s kids that don´t deserve nothing bad from NOBODY, let them see her dad as he was. a HERO FOR MANY and a person that care for nature and animals.

Who was there? Why do we judge him if he was absolved by the law? we are the CIA? Do we have the right to judge without proving it? (((((NO)))))). STOP NOW.

Time to change ((((PLEASE))))) LOOK ONLY WHAT HE LEFT TO US. HE LOST EVERYTHING!!!,properties,friends, love!!!!......!CAN´T YOU SEE????????

Monday June 29, 2009, 6:10 pm
My Comment Did Not Accuse; But merely Proposed You "fans" Raise Funds and Take Responsibility for Protecting the Youth that Your Theme Park would Put at Risk..
if Ya'll Don't Want to Do it that way that is Your Biz and Potential criminal Negligence Charges or LAW SUITS Would Also Be Yours;
Or Do you just want Credit for the Idea and let someone else Finance it and take the responsibility?
But Whether or Not he Was Guilty of ALL Crimes accused of; he Did behave inapropriatly and While I believe it was Not of Evil intent; But More that he was Trying to Catch up on his Stolen Youth That his Dominating Father Took from him.
To Pander to the Afro American Community Over this issue;
is as Racist as Saying OJ Must be Guilty because he's Black..

As it is Correct that He is Dead; All the Fans in the world Shouldn't Go against his Will, Or the Wishes of His Mother; as To Where he is Buried..

ya'll Don't Own Him or Neverland; Just The Posters, Video's, CD's, tapes and Records; that you PAID For; and the Memories; Everyone has a Right to those;
But unless Your Pettition Signers are Putting Up Money and Making a Fair Offer; they have No right to determine or DEMAND What the investors and His Debt Holders Do with thier Shares of His Ranch.
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTHS/Sig Nat ures, Are.

Why should Some one else Pay For Your Fantasy Theme Park Memorial.

and Going To My Page and Copying/Pasting my Words To Attack Me;
is Not Acceptable;

And You Should Know Better....

by the Way I would never try to Say Michael Jakson wasn't a great Performer and Singer; I loved his Music TOO.
I Don't approve of the way his father exploited All his Children; and By Memorialising and creating an amusement Park around his Body I feel that It Would Also Exploit Michaels Children By in some way involving them; he has alway's (except the Germany Balcony incident)
Tried to Keep them out of the spotlight;
So Why don't Ya'll honour that and Just Let him Rest;
and take your Spotlight Off of his family...

(are you Planning on returning the caged animals and Pet Monkey's Too;
or all The ARA's in Denial about that Side of his Personal Choices.)

Immortalize Michael Jackson at Neverland Ranch PETITION

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/michaeljacksonneverland/?e

Monday June 29, 2009, 11:32 pm
Michael Jackson has nothing to do with my or anyone's native roots. This man is honored by me, and I am humbled by the amount of betrayal the American Society put on this man, while he embraced the anger and heartbreak. This man IS and WAS innocent.

I will miss his soul of awesome artistical talent, but I will never forget him. I didn't know his pain ran so deep, but maybe I didn't want to know...

Thank you Tere ((hugs))

Monday June 29, 2009, 11:33 pm
Oh and petition signed and news noted

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 12:46 am
This was In No Way an attack on Michael Jackson;
I Feel for Him as I wouild Any Exploited Child;
That is Why I won't Let Go off this;
because His Children Do not Deserve to have an amusmusment Theme Park to Be Built over his Grave.. So Quit Calling Me Out;
As I will answer I made it Clear in My First Post that I was Addressing Fans Plural as this Qoute Proves:

Money Talks;
if All the Fans Want it Form a Investment Group of Your Own and Buy the Place Don't Tell some one Else What to Do with it Take Responsibility for Your Demands; and Then All The Fans That contribute can decide What to Do With Your Profits... So If The Poor Translations the Whatever Program Gives has created This Missunderstanding Than as the American English Speaking Family member My Latest Attacker Should have Taken responsibility and Explained But We ALL KNOW it isn't about that as She has Made Several Prejudicail Refferences to MY Friends If I played Like That I would have Been Here With Hip Boots on a couple weeeks ago Wouldn't I... So Call Off The Kids; Cause We Don't Wanna Go there; (PLEASE) and TAKE Responsibility For Your OverREACTIONS.....

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 12:55 am
To make My Points Clearer:
on the TMZ on the TMZ intertainment News:
They Show Crowds of People Hanging out infront of the Moms/Kids Home Trying to Con thier Way in "Flava Flave" gets turned back; and The Commentator Says There are alot of People Lawyers Doctors Trying to get in to Be a Part of this.... How BUZZARD/VULTURE LIKE;
WAit; Take the Time to Organise a FAN Buyer Group and Make a Realistic Offer to the Creditors/investors/Family;
Don't Claim: SELFISH Fans Rights to HIS Body; Like a Pack of Hyenas....
LET The FAMILY Bury HIM WHERE THEY WANT...

Great article Tere. Michael meant well with all his animals. He was kid like. Never grew up. Bubbles is in a sanctuary in Florida and very happy there. The rest are in zoos and other sanctuaries. It was hard to trace them all. I feel he regretted getting these wild animals. He did not realize what he was getting into. Everyone has their opinion on Michael and I for one liked him. He was never convicted on anything. He was deprived of his childhood and was abused by his father. People shouldn't be so harsh on him. He just never grew up and that is where Neverland comes in. RIP Micahel. You have so many that love you and you will always be The King Of Pop, never forgotten. Thanks for all your tributes to this legend Tere.

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 11:43 am
Thanks Tere for this. I hope you know you can count on me and "I'll Be There" as Michael so beautifully sang, as you well know. Now I'm off to the hamptonblu.blogspot.
Big Hugs my friend

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson. *candle*

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 12:42 pm
In my opinion, it's a good idea to make a memorial for Michael. Nothing wrong with that and like "Graceland" for Elvis, it can be a place where people can see the memorial and whatever else they decide to add.

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 12:46 pm
And if the fans want to present it to the people that own the place, then let them present it. Nobody has the right to decide if they have the right to do it. Period.

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 4:48 pm
Thanks Tere, Michael was a Brave Heart and a very compassionate person. He loved animals and children. His music expressed his gentle side. He had the greatness that often comes from those who have felt deep pain. Michaels "Heal The World" exposes his depth of character. His music and profound lyrics will be missed.. Barbara/founder/dtdn

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 5:07 pm
His memorial services are being held at Neverland on Friday.

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 8:09 pm
Noted Tere....*S*
Tried to sign thepetition,but it is under maintience right now. I will try again later..

Let him rest in peace. He cannot defend himslef now, and for anyone to start throwing garbage at this memory, that is a small minded act of a very unhappy person. Let him be, and let those that loved him and admired him do so without the meanspiritedness and cruel insults.
Would anyone like thesemean and cruel things said about someone you loved and admired?

Tuesday June 30, 2009, 9:01 pm
So They have Found a Will;
But Not Fully Disclosed What it Means To Everyone Elses Plans...
Michael had the Right to decide What happend to His Body, His Children and His Money/estate
And Those That were Claiming His Mother wanted to Control it and Care for the Children Missed The Part where they Said JOE and His Mother;

NO WAY... She is Condependant To AN ABUSIVE Child Exploiter...
NO WAY, Should Joe have ANY Hold over his Children Or Money.
(He Already Got More than He dedserved.)

So ALL You "LOVING Fans". PLEASE LEAVE THIS ISSUE ALONE;
UNTILL the Will is Read;

and Then If YA'LL Want to Honour Michael;
Then Honour HIS WISHES and LET HIM REST IN PEACE;
and Allow His Children the Privacy That they deserve...
NO ONE should Force them into any Carreers or Public appierances No ONE.

I agree w/ Tere and Darren 100% thanks...signed and noted

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 5:04 am
I highly support this petition because I think that Michael's dead is caused by us to a great extent devastating his generous soul with nasty pedophile blames made by extremely greedy people who just wanted to catch his wealth!!! Everyone in this world who ignored easily Mishael's GENEROUS HEART OPEN AND WORKING FOR CHILDREN IN NEED should be now ashamed by his action... Michael loved all of us and did his best to entertain and teach us to be GOOD HUMANS! He didn't deserve to live in pain caused by the people he helped so much... I stood by Michael all the time since my childhood and I am proud of that. I wish to thank all of his GREAT FANS like me and tell them that Michael will be happy in heaven to see us continue his actions, to see that we can change the world if we want to. Never forget our IDOL dear true fans!

I wish I could sign this. His music was great and he had some good messages, as well as the money to help a lot of people out - though I dislike what he did to Paul McCartney and the rights to the Beatles Music.

Sadly, when he settled out of court I had questions regarding his actual innocence and still do. Whether I think he is kind, looks kind, or achieved a lot is not really what would cause me to sign such an important petition. There is no proof as to whether he molested anyone or not, just assumption on both ends. I rather not sign something when I personally wonder why he settled out of court. That is a scary thought to me, someone had some sort of thing on Michael. Perhaps.

I think his father abused him as well. It seems all the Jackson children had issues and became troubled adults and I blame their father for that. Maybe someone hurt their father as well. Hatred and abuse is a vicious circle.

The hateful comments posted here are a step too far though. People have issues, people are abused and cope in different ways. It's appalling people that join a site like this can be so hateful. It seems people with a little more intellect would occupy sites like this, and show it by not posting rude and hateful comments. If you don't want to sign it fine, state as much and why with some class. That's all.

We are all human at the end of the day.

Also, this planet has some deeply disturbing things happening on it. People are being abused by having their human rights stripped away, children are starving in other countries - the US included. People are being shot for wanting their freedom all over the planet.

Animals are going extinct, as many as three species a day.

Isn't there more important things for us to focus on when we really consider it?

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 1:07 pm
Petition signed - post noted Tere thanx. Michael Jackson is and alwasys will be remember for the pleasure and joy he bought to people all over the world. A most excellent entertainer - music and dance such talent will be greatly missed. He has passed on to better things and has left all the stress and dreadful accusations and bad times behind him please let him rest in peace - I can never understand why folk must dreadge up bad things about people after they have gone - tell private stuff - it should all remain confidential - HE WAS ALWAYS LOVED AND ALWAYS WILL BE LOVED AND HONOURED FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC HE GAVE TO US. Brightest Blessings to all his family - courange and strength to his beautiful children. Thanx Tere

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 1:36 pm
Yes, there are other important issues to keep working on, but this news post has a strong topic of honoring a beautiful soul. Move on to other news and actions to keep the good work going, Marni.

I was molested from a toddler age to the age of 12.
My mother was molested in her childhood.
My daughter was being sexually molested at age 11 for over a year, and we just finished the trial against this phedophile.
All these molesters looked like "normal" (whatever that is) men, with "normal" lifestyles. Strange how that works. Normal looking seems impossible while those who look different, its a probability.

Three generations this vile crime has touched my bloodline. Michael Jackson, like this nation of people, self-medicate to function in this world with its dark-side festering everywhere. His only crime, in my eyes, is to his SELF. He allowed the betrayals of others, to allow him to betray his SELF.

Now one of the "accusers" has come out to say he lied, and his father made him lie. I am proud of that now grown boy, but sad that he didn't do it, before Michael Jackson died.....

The District Attorney was embarrassed over how the family took money over a criminal trial, and they found another "accuser" who with 175 witnesses for the prosecution, gave a verdict of NOT GUILTY on all counts. The media in its greed for high ratings of profit, jumped on the bandwagon and got rich with any tabloid nonsense they could muster up. The DA realized that they couldn't use the maid in these 175 witnesses, when the maid only wanted money. There weren't MANY settlements, please LEARN the truth with clarity of the mind.

Those who are "uncomfortable" with Michael's looks and personality will continue to question and condemn this man. Fear and Hate are powerful feelings of energy that ripple outward. Thankfully, many don't fear nor hate something they just don't understand or accept him as a "normal" man.

Michael Jackson was an ICON, and now he is an Angel that SHINES brightly in the Universe. I stand with THE MAN IN THE MIRROR.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 2:17 pm
Thanks my friends for giving STRONG evidence to people and not just gossips and rumors. Dar...wow...great info for opening some eyes here.

I just read that the family CAN´T AFFORT DOING A FUNERAL at this ranch and they are deeply sad. This shouldn´t be this way......that place is part of Michael Jackson´s history. That´s why is so important to sign this petition.

What makes me more sad is that the "new owners" sooner or later will take advantage of this, but noooo, they can´t help the family and friends to have a funeral there???

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Michael Jackson’s family will not hold a public or private viewing of his body at the Neverland Ranch, a spokesman for the family said Wednesday.

“Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly,” said Ken Sunshine, in a written statement.

Sunshine’s public relations firm has just been hired by the Jackson family, his statement said.

Confusion and speculation spread in recent days over where and when a memorial service for Jackson might be held.

Planning had been underway for a motorcade to carry Jackson’s body from Los Angeles to the Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, which state and local officials suggested would be difficult and costly.

A public viewing at Neverland Ranch on Friday had also been under consideration, law enforcement sources said.

Jackson’s will, which was filed in court Wednesday, did not specify where he wished to be buried.

http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/01/family-says-no-michael-jackson-viewing-at-neverland/

"would be difficult and costly." wow!. he deserves better than that!! I think........That´s why it´s important to sign a petition like this. He gave us his songs and we can give something back to him.

Good job and good luck,I think this is a great idea!! Michael Jackson was a GOD SEND for people all over the world,so to all of you out there that just want to focus on the very few little things he was accused of,but never convicted of keep your comments to your self!! If you think so poorly of M.J. what are you even doing on this comment board? FEEL GUILTY?? Think about it: If someone molested or sexualy abused your child,would you settle for money,or conviction?????? Not enough money in the world for me if someone hurt my children,I would want them behind bars for a LONNNNNNNNG time!!!!!!! It was a scam by the parents,NO DOUBT!! For all you M.J. Haters,Get the facts on Michaels life before you start bashing!! Michael had medical problems,so get off the kick about his looks!! He was a wonderful,beautiful person!! He has passed,so why not have some respect for his family,friends,and fans,and OHHHHHHH Boy did he ever have ALOT of fans!!! They out weigh the bashers by a LONNNNNNNNNG SHOT!! R.I.P. Michael!! He will be painfully missed!!

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 2:23 pm
DIFFICULT AND COSTLY after all he did.........the officials local and state ones and the new owners should do it EASY AND CHEAP!!!

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 2:29 pm
Lori you made extremely good points.

I am a mother and of course I will do EVERYTHING to keep a rapist in jail for the rest of his life if that happened inside my family. WAS MONEY of course! and go figure what else, like that mother wanted to be a star and in the news because she didn´t have enough attention with her life. Also that woman had legal problems and those problems involved his child....coincidence??? NO, That´s why justice was made in favor of Michael Jackson. There was no evidence of rape at all.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 3:29 pm
I agree there should be something at Neverland to show Michael Jacksons hard work in putting that altogether. Grace land stands for something else and we should not compare the 2 really. Those who would like his body laid to rest on Neverland grounds is a fan talking, but ultimately it is what the family wants mostly. I feel more for the children really. They are now drawn into something awful and they are sheltered but they still lost a father, one who cared for them. I am hoping their mother of all three would have some kind of relationship with them despite the care would go to either Katherine Jackson his mother or Diana Ross. I feel Diana Ross would be better suited for caring for the children as she is younger. Katherine Jackson is 79, that is alot for a woman her age to care for 3 children. She looks like a nice lady. I wish there was a petition on here to send our sympathies to the children and family members.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 3:59 pm
Too bad there is not a petition to send our sympathies to the children and Michael Jacksons family. The amusement part should keep going and money raised should go to charities such as disadvantaged children, animal welfare etc.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 4:18 pm
I will make one petition, yoou are right. I´ll wait till Darren comes from work for him to review my spelling.

I promise we will have one.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 4:19 pm
Tere... Thanks for sharing this. I will read and sign the petition.

To those who make accusations of Michael being a child molester... Throughout the years many of us have had our own personal thoughts on this, but there has never been any proof of his guilt. The proof we do have is that he gave his life to the public and his children. He honoured us with his talent. He gave much of his time & life to charities.

The assumption of guilt is what is in your heart if you believe that, not proven fact.
I do believe he was chasing after a childhood he never was allowed to have and that is where his attraction to children came in. Not in a sexual way. They represented the one thing in life he never had... a childhood.

As a mother... I can tell you, there wold be NO ammount of money to satisfy me if someone had raped/molested my children!!!

Tere... I would not allow the few people attempting to show dishonour get to you... that is what they want.
You are a wonderful person and great friend...

love ya

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 4:39 pm
Thanks my friend for your words. They will not succeed, the karma is going to follow them in each action they make against me.


I think the same: No money would leave me satisfied if someone mess with my kids.

We are real mothers, so we know what we are talking about here.

Wednesday July 1, 2009, 10:12 pm
Hey Cat! Did you were there? cause there is no evidence. The only evidence you had was FOX NEWS and a tabloids that love scandals.

The LAW said he was innocent.

Of course the price this man paid because of haters was....losing all his money because of a scandal.

Time to turn "the tortilla" and think in all the good things this man left in this Earth as evidence of his good heart.

Judging a person that is not common is easy!

Elvis was a druggie....wow....BECAUSE THE MEDIA AND AUTHORITIES CREATE MONSTERS FOR YOU TO HAVE FUN.

The idols are Lonely people surrounded by many but loved by few.

Have you ever been in a place full of people and feel LONELY??? well....that´s an everyday thing for idiols and important people.

Have you done show after show after show and you have to keep on giving??? NO, but let me tell you, it´s difficult to please everybody, there is NO HUMAN BODY that resist so much stress and work!! Have you sang infront of an audience for 3 hours, jumping, singing, moving from side to side of a stage???? NOOOOOO

Have you deal with press, paparazzis etc??? NOOOOO.

Those who judge wouldn´t resist 5 minutes of a show without pain pills and anti-depresants .

People like Michael Jackson were there for us, when we were resting in our homes listening to his music, but do you know HOW MANY HOURS you have to be in a studio recording what you enjoy in 3 minutes????

You didn´t think about his sacrifice in those stupid 3 minutes of joy you had. He spent days and days for you to enjoy "your" 3 minutes!

So, don´t judge.

I cry for you today Michael!

I always have been a big fan. We are both children of the fifties, our generation, we both reached middle age. You were never allowed to be a child and as an adult, you just refused to grow up. The for ever child with the tragic life and the untimely death. You did what we all do: you tried the best you knew how. As we were young I followed you and your concerts: Rotterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, London. I looked up at you in astonishment and you never ceased to amaze me. You gave me some of the best times of my life! A true King of Pop! I thought about going to London for a final goodbye to you and to our youth. Too late. I will never forget you. Your feet will be swift, your voice will be clear, your socks will shine once more in heaven.

Thursday July 2, 2009, 4:24 am

I will let Michaels words say what's in my heart and what came from his "Brave, Gentle, Heart" "Heal The World"

There's A Place In Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways To Get There
If You Care Enough For The Living
Make A Little Space Make A Better Place...

Heal The World Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough For The Living
Make A Better Place For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why There's A Love That
Cannot Lie Love Is Strong
It Only Cares For Joyful Giving
If We Try We Shall See
In This Bliss We Cannot Feel
Fear Or Dread We Stop Existing And
Start Living

Then It Feels That Always Love's Enough For
Us Growing So Make A Better World Make A Better World...

Heal The World Make It A Better Place For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough For The Living
Make A Better Place For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face And The World We
Once Believed In Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep Strangling Life
Wound This Earth Crucify Its Soul
Though It's Plain To See This World Is Heavenly
Be God's Glow

We Could Fly So High Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart I Feel You Are All My Brothers

Bless the strong people that have stood strong and spoke so

beautifully.

I had to respond though in regards to the post a little further up

on the article:

Rod Gesner
"Monday June 29, 2009, 8:52 pm
again YOU Attack with Patronising words;
GOD IS THE SAME TO ALL OF US: BLACK OR WHITE, OR

LATINOS. strange How You Left out Native Americans
and NO;
I note what I will for the reasons I already gave;
and My Great Spirit;
Is Not the Same God of Conquistadors, Slave owners, Or

Genocidal Missionaries. Nor is it the God of Fashion and the

Exploitive Music industry or it's Sainted Fans..
for you to presume to tell me.
show's an Arrogance beyond Words"

Pretty presumptive I would say on your part to speak for everyone

who you mistakenly believe holds the same faith as you.
I am Native American, and your words have no truth at all in them

to me, nor many that I know of. Your Great Spirit is your own

personal faith, and to think that we all have the same faith as you

do is far more arrogant than you can imagine....But here is the

thing Rod Gesner, I do not presume to believe that my Great

Spirit is any better than anyone elses, not do I ever use my faith

as a weapon over the head of anyone else. For to be good to one

another, to appreciate and respect one another is a basic concept

taught to most of us as small children. And to have a love of

music, and admiration for anothers talent and art does not give

yhou the right to belittle the art, the artist, nor those that that

respect that those that have the talent and the art. For if there

was not the art and music in the world, it would be a terrible

angry place to live in.....For many faiths still praise the strong

belief in..."Make a joyful noise unto the Lord....".
And just because you are watcher and believer in the media that

spend endless hours chasing these artist .....does not mean the

rest of the world does the same.

Lastly...no one is "demanding anything...." those are your words,

and why should it bother you so much to the extreme thatyou have

made a point to come to this article and belittle every poster who

was an admirer and respected his music? That is a whole lot of

focused anger about one person. You are theone coming here

making uncalled for comments and insults about peoples character

and their right to ask and petition others to honor someone they

love and enjoyed.
The question is...why does this anger you so much that feel you

have the right to direspect everyone who cared about this omne

human being and his gift?
Thou doth protest to much....
You ought to let these wonder individuals greive and honor this man

in the one way they have come together to do....
The only people they seem to have offended is you and your friend

Grif Griffin.

Thank you good friends...for you have honored MJ, and I am
sure that his family appreciates the "kindness" and thoughtfulness
more than the media driven hate machines.
My daughters art comes partly from MJ's music when she was a
young girl...and she grieves for his death as well.....

And if life is not hard enough, the critics can't even let him die in peace.
They are still full of criticism, hatred and anger.

Henri Frederic Amiel:
We are never more discontented with others than when we are

discontented with ourselves.

Theodore Roosevelt:
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how

the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have

done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the

arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who

strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who

knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends

himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who

at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that

his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know

neither victory nor defeat.
From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910

"The avocation of assessing the failures of better men can be

turned into a comfortable livelihood, providing you back it up with

a Ph.D."Algren, Nelson

"A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise,

provided it smacks of jealousy."
Baudrillard, Jean

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking

a lamppost how it feels about dogs.
- Christopher Hampton

Critics are biased, and so are readers. (Indeed, a critic is a

bundle of biases held loosely together by a sense of taste.) But

intelligent readers soon discover how to allow for the windage of

their own and a critic's prejudices.
- Whitney Balliett

Don't judge any man until you have walked two moons in his

moccasins.
- American Indian saying

It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To

take advantage of that, to break a man's spirit is devil's work.

Two and two continue to make four, in spite of the whine of the

More and more people think of the critic as an indispensable

middle man between writer and reader, and would no more read a

book alone, if they could help it, than have a baby alone.

It is not expected of critics that they should help us to make

Tere - Signed & noted - Thank you for being a caring person!
I agree with Lori!! Don't let these negitive people get you down!!! Michael Jackson and ELVIS are & will always be KINGS!!!!! I love Michael and always have..... I have stood by him always beacause NOTHING was ever proven.... except that NASTY people wanted to take advatage a good hearted man. He was always a child at heart. He could never hurt anyone.

He saved those animals from zoos.... he took exellent care of them... they are all in wonderful santuairies....he loved animals...His amimals weree treated like family!!
This isn't a bash board for Michael.... and now you start with ELVIS???? Sounds like someone is jealous... Bottom line note or don't you don't have to bash our Icons. Most of us are in mourning... we don't deserve this.... Tere....does not deserve this...

Personally I don't care what they do, the man was a great artist.

If you think listing a million positive things he has done as some form of social payback for what he did to even one child, much less the numbers that were paid to keep quite may I ask would you do the same for all the Priests that have molested children? They sure have a longer list of positives, have a Church that is already a shrine, they even bury people on church gounds to honor them.

I believe like Elvis, MJ will have a legacy, Elvis is rememberd for his music his moves his womanizing, his twin and dieing from drugs. MJ will be rememberd for his music, his dance, his inability to have a normal relationships, pedophillia plus hanging his son from a leg off a balcony. Sad end for both.

Oddly MJ said many times he would never live at "Neverland" after the first pedophillia accusations, unproven in court, proven with a 15 million dollar pay-off as hush money. If he openly said he would never stay there, seems disrespectful to bury him there if you respect the man at all, but then I don't care.

The vultures are already overhead, PeTA wants a piece of the pie and before MJ even has a public funeral they have written the family wanting rights to speific song to "save animals", more like fill PeTAs bank is the real reason.

All sad, all true.

Again to All that Might missunderstand to facilitate thier Hatred of Me;
My First Statment was that Anyone that opend a MJ Theme Park should Take Responsibility to Protect the Children IN aas many way as Possible. to avoid Further Sullying his Name.
That was Not an Accusation But a Cautionary Warning To Protect the Kids and Mj's Good Name;
When Falsly Accussed of Trying To Accuse Him by the greatly misstranslated Words Above that claimed "he was never Charged with anything"
I din't Even Bother to Correct that Misstatement (as he wouldn't have gone to trial without Charges)
But Offerd My Compassionate Oppinion that MJ was a victim and While Ifelt that he might have acted "inappropriatly" He Was only trying to relive his lost Childhood and Was NOT EVIL..
My Issues Are with Fans Thinking They OWN a Star even after his death; and By Promoting this Idea even before his will was Found and Read THEY were acting inapropriately and Putting Undue Stress on the family When They and the owners of Neverland should have the final say in any Plans Allowable By Michaels Will and Burial Wishes.
So Turn On ME If You Will But Someday instead of Putting Just Folks On Pedistals and Trying to Own them After they are Dead. Make Your Own Life Something to be Proud of and then you won't need to Project onto Some Parental and Media Exploited Little Boy that Never had a Chance at a REAL Life Cause His Father and the FANS Wouldn't LET HIM....

You cannot currently send a star to Wolfweeps because you have done so within the last week.

Friday July 3, 2009, 5:43 pm
Michelle thanks for your words and yes, jealousy is a bad feeling.

Michael Jackson and Elvis gave us their music and we are not in this note for talking trash, we are here to honour them.

Friday July 3, 2009, 8:18 pm
I didn't misunderstand your posts at all, Rod. I thought you expressed yourself rather clearly. This is all rather silly. Why should anyone except the family have a say in what happens with his property anyway? I find that notion rather silly. *shrug*

Yes the fans so want to preserve Neverland Ranch. But it means so much more than that. It was for the many children who were deprived in one way or another. It was for the sick ones to give them enjoyment in a otherwise depressing situations. Michael lived for the children. Yes Michael made mistakes, so let the first person who has never made mistakes cast the first stone. The only thing different between your mistakes and Michael is yours isnt made public. So ask yourself this...if your mistakes were made public what would people think of you? Are you sure you can cast the first stone?

Sunday August 2, 2009, 9:52 am
i also need to clarify that I never once believed Michael would ever harm any child for any reason. He loved children too much to ever even think of harming any of them.

Sunday June 13, 2010, 5:30 am
Neverland must be saved for children. Sick and poor children must be allowed to come to Neverland and have fun. Just like Michael always wanted it to be. And that's one of the reasons why he built Neverland. But it's obvious, that people who own Neverland now won't spend their money on these "foolish things". If this petition may help Michael's dream come true, then I'm for it.

Tuesday December 20, 2011, 8:50 pm
Yes, Michael should be remembered at Neverland,his home.
