To say the truth for me more shock was that doctor agreed to give it to Michael. Common person may not understand how serious the drug is. Doctor should know it better. Michael still was a child all his life although he also was grown up man but in many things he was a child. And it's not enough for parents to say that matches are dangerous. Parents should not give them to a child the first place.
But maybe I am just wanting to make Michael more innocent as he was. Maybe, if so, then let it me that way. That's my opinion. But in the same time I am also not saying Michael was completely dumb. It was wrong of course. I am just saying that doctor should know it better than patient.
Yet more humour for my Friday afternoon! Actually, this is quite sad. In nearly all of his interviews since about 1991, MJ seems to continually play the victim - blaming the media, his childhood etc for his plight.
All the people and yesman around him claiming him to be a child (and saying its normal, even charmingly, for a man in his 40s) just helped to keep him in this state of mind.
I remember, I think it was in the Oprah Winfrey interview, him saying he wished he could be treated just you would treat your neighbour.... then he floats statues of himself down the River Thames etc to promote History. I just find that MJ never seemed to want to be accountable or take responsibility for his actions when they didn't go according to plan.
