5. Not just no, but 'Hell no'!
When was the last time he made a decent record, anyway? I think I was in junior high.

6. I care because I believe that he is a serial pedophile
The only difference between him and a man lustily watching a playground is means and money. All pedophiles use traps for children- candy, puppies, anything to get their interest. Michael built an amusement park as bait. It's really sick and I hope that it will finally stop. He's only gotten away with this for so long because he's rich and famous. He needs to be stopped and I am interested in the trial because I want to see him punished.

I'm not going to try the case here in this post. Some of you may not be as convinced as I am, but you have to come to your own conclusions. It's undeniable that he fits the profile of a pedophile and it's clear to all that he has a serious problem with perspective (appropriateness of sleeping with children etc.) Also, I'll concede that any parent leaving their child with such a suspicious, strange person overnight shares responsibility over any abuse that occurred. There should be a way of punishing them too but alas, all we have is a trial for an abuser.

So you bet I'll be watching and really hoping for justice.

10. Not any more than I care about anybody else's trial....
....and since I type trial transcripts for a living, I'm probably caring more about the one I'm working on right now. It's $$$ in my pocket.

11. I'm not following it closely, but I do care . . .
If he is indeed a pedophile, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

12. Unlike most people my age, I don't care
there are more important things going on such as mangate, US switching sides in Iraq, possible invasion of Iran, possible MIHOP\LIHOP 2, election reform, the California coup, environmental stuff, starving children around the world, underfunded schools, possible Great Depression 2, possible WWIII, arsenic in drinking water, social security, the Dominonist coup, etc.

13. for the record....
i don't care, other than to see justice done.

but come on, tell the truth... if it were a well-known right-winger on trial for the same charges, there'd be 30 threads a day here, recounting every minute detail... : )
