    Have you watched it? I thought it was just.. wow.. beautiful! Especially Brooke Shields' speech and John Mayer on the guitar.

    I have vacation, so have been watching CNN all week and have been enjoying some concerts as well. Most played by myself this week: 'I just can't stop loving you'. Love that song..

    MJ was/is definitely the greatest entertainer that ever lived! I hope he has found some rest now.

    I only saw a tiny bit of it last night. When his daughter got up and gave her speech… That was just so sad :( Those poor kids! You can tell he was a good dad.

    I watched the whole thing…on my computer at work. I thought the Memorial was beautiful. I loved Al Sharpton's message to MJ's kids. Maya Angelou's words read by Queen Latifah were amazing. I loved what his brother Marlon had to say...Jennifer Hudson's performance was beautiful...Magic Johnson made me laugh (about KFC) and Paris Jackson made me cry.

    I had a good friend die yesterday after a long illness...so I was pretty much a mess from that and then watching MJ's memorial...what a day. :(

    Most played by me this week...Man in the Mirror. :( What an amazing song.

    I too hope he is finally at peace.

    Unfortunately i missed it, am hoping it may be repeated. I bought myself one of his CDS yesterday. I feel so sorry for his kids, everyone seems to have an opinion as to who should have custody. I hope someone actualy asks the kids what they think.
    RIP Michael

    I think I heard on the news (within 2 days of MJ's death) that they asked the oldest son and he said he wanted to stay with his grandmother. It will be horrible if they end up with someone they don't even know.

    A dog fighting ring in the Seattle area was just busted the other day. Sad what people do for money and entertainment…

    I find it disturbing that the author has such little value for life and would write an article defending abuse. No living thing should be beaten and tortured and a person who values life so little that they would do so does represent a possible harm to humans. A person who is willing to justify such behavior because "it was only property" is also scary. His comparison to deer hunting is highly flawed since it is not the hunter's intent to cause pain and torture, they strive for a clean kill and the purpose is to increase the health of the population by decreasing numbers to what the land can support since there are no longer enough natural predators to do the job. People who torture and abuse wildlife are just as wrong as those who do it to domesticated animals. The absolute worst thing about this article though is that the editor of the paper thought that it was an appropriate "sports" article. That is the section of the paper that it was published in.

    I went to as HSUS 3 day weekend dealing with pit fighting. Most of the filming, I couldn't watch, and when I did, I just sobbed. These poor dogs are just treated so very badly. I won't even share what they do to them as puppies to "toughin" them up. Sick folks this group! No excuse for abuse. In my eyes, this is abuse of the worst kind.
