Estimates are that about 9,500 people die per day in America. That means thousands of special services are carried on daily to honor the departed and ponder our own mortality. When celebrities or iconic figures die we are moved on a national scale to weigh our own brief stay on the planet. But what do we actually ponder and what questions does the death of icons provoke?

Cronkite - Never trusted that guy.
...And, anchoring the list, Frank McCourt.
Only a propagandist needs to sell you on the truthfulness of what he just said.
Thanks for posting. Interesting read.
For all the abuse heaped upon Michael Jackson, it is a reminder to all of us that we may very well find ourselves sharing eternal life with those we’ve chosen in this life to condemn. We don’t always know the heart of another.
The death of Cronkite means one less Beautiful Person commie to me.Nothing else.
How many of these icons knew Christ as their personal Lord and Savior?
You never know what they may have done with their last breaths. Only God can judge them.
I don’t think that’s any of my business.
"Living with Michael Jackson" [MJ on sleeping with children: It's very charming. It's very sweet]
MJHouse.com ^
Transcript of Bashir interview. Video of it also.
Excerpt:
Jackson: "When you say bed, you're thinking sexual, they make that sexual, it's not sexual." "We're going to sleep, I tuck them in and I put a little like, er, music on and when it's story time I read a book." "We go to sleep with the fireplace on. I give them hot milk, you know, we have cookies, it's very charming, it's very sweet, it's what the whole world should do."
[snip]
Bashir: "Did you ever sleep in the bed with them?"
Jackson: "No. But I have slept in a bed with many children. "I slept in a bed with all of them when Macauley Culkin was little: Kieran Culkin would sleep on this side, Macauley Culkin was on this side, his sisters in there...we all would just jam in the bed, you know. "We would wake up like dawn and go in the hot air balloon, you know, we had the footage. I have all that footage."
Bashir: "But is that right Michael?"
Jackson: "It's very right. It's very loving, that's what the world needs now, more love more heart."
Bashir: "The world needs a man who's 44 who's sleeping in a bed with children?"
Jackson: "No, you're making it - no, no you're making it all wrong ..."
Bashir: "Well, tell me, help me ..."
Jackson: "Because what's wrong with sharing a love? You don't sleep with your kids? Or some other kid who needs love who didn't have a good childhood?"
Bashir: "No, no I don't. I would never dream ..."
Jackson: "That's because you've never been where I've been mentally ..."

I’m not sure I needed that imagery...
But those who believe in Heaven and Hell won’t have to worry too much about having to spend eternity with MJ, unless you’re a mass murderer or something...
Do you collect these kinds of pictures a lot?
They were meant to show that he wasn't just this 'innocent' person (who slept with little kids) that people like Kimberly GG try to portray him. There are millions of equally naive people out there just like KGG who believe he was.
The images were in response to her comments in post 6:
"For all the abuse heaped upon Michael Jackson, it is a reminder to all of us that we may very well find ourselves sharing eternal life with those weve chosen in this life to condemn. We dont always know the heart of another."
It just seemed creepy, having someone with all those particular pictures available in just 10 minutes or so.
Never mind that.How many of the believed in God in *any* way?
I have a ton of things I’ve previous researched saved in various folders. Nearly all of it is on Obama and his communist associations. They’re already in html format and ready to go when needed. Those pics, btw, all came from a single youtube video.
OK
