His handlers have to pamper him and feed his ego or risk untimely death. Hopefully the pleas and pressure from our government will help but he'll want something done in return because people are bargaining chips to him.

My gut says MJ had NO friends, just people who liked his talent, fame and money and fed his ego. I believe he died friendless and it irks me to hear all these people go on LKL saying what close confidents and freinds they were... they are deluded, they were acquaintences or very bad friends to not know how bad things were... in my opinion. How many of thsoe 114 days did you spend talking to your friend MJ for obviously for someone who dozens of people are now claiming to be friends, was a very loney sad man it seems... and if you "friends" didn't bring his addiction public to force him to get help for his sake, what about for his kids... he had no real friends if you ask me!

There has been so much that has happened in the last 114 days globally and locally it is hard to keep track of each day and what has been going on. Globally, the most impactful thing for me has been keeping up with the Iran election and the protests and trying to imagine myself living like that. What would I do in that situation? Living in America, and remembering the election this past year and how much I was involved in the primaries and the general election and how hard women fought to win the right the vote, we all just take it for granted. Why even some don't even think it helps to vote. Here is a country fighting with a government and leader who is doing raids of their homes at night. They don't even have a democratic environment or the right for freedom of speech. No way or process to fight for elections or change. They risk their lives for this. Keeping up with TV on CNN, websites and learning Twitter and Facebook gave me the ability to learn to love and connect with these people as individuals. I felt like I could write them all day long and encourage them and watch it on television and be there and pray for them. Also the North Korea incident and watching that and pulling out of Iraq was another global event. Wondering how that would make a difference. Now hoping people will be given freedom and let go to be reunited with their familes. Elections are going on locally as we fight for economic survival too. Every day. We have to give back in every way we can. Experiencing several passings of known people in our lives locally, and celebrities we have identified with such as Farrah Fawcett, Ed MacMahon and civil leaders and of course, Michael Jackson was a connecting force for all of us. The last 114 days I have been giving back financially and in person globally, nationally and locally to make a difference.
