To me, the saddest part is the amount of time that the media is lavishing about both of their deaths, as if it is a national disaster! Report that they died and be done with it - let the public decide how much attention should be given. They just wound up where we are all going - some go sooner, some later. My $0.02.

When the coroner picked him up at UCLA, all I could think of was; He had no home and no one knew where the body was gonna go to next. So where on earth could all the stupid fans go now? Which street could they congregate at? It must be confusing time for this young generation, worshiping a false idol and all.:confused:confused:confused

Many young kids also idolize BMWs while shunning American iron.

Are you referring to the 2 acronyms for BMW that are not relevant to the car?

Well, I don't know about y'all, but I was T-I-R-E-D of the continuous coverage of his passing by about 11:30 pm YESTERDAY. 'Nothing but hash & rehash.

Three or four times today I turned the set on to see whether the world had ended yet (you know...N. Korea, Iran, cap 'n' trade bill, etc.) only to see MORE blah blah about M.J. filling the airwaves instead. So, after I heard the first 3 words or so, I just shut the set off rather than listening to it.

Even O'Reilly and Hannity were filled with it tonight.

Enough already. :bored

News flash for EP, who's been out of touch with the world for more than a half-hour now: I just checked in with Fox News, and Michael Jackson is STILL DEAD!! (Will update only if the situation changes. :willy)

(Sorry Larry - couldn't resist :biggrin)

MJ Update

MJ's personal, live in doctor, graduated from Meharry Medical College
School of Medicine. Now Frank or Atomic may know more than me about the field, but if I had the means, I surely wouldn't chose a Dr. that graduated from that school.

Here are the entrance requirements of Meharry

Meharry Medical College
School of Medicine
Director, Admissions and Records

Nashville, TN 37208
(615) 327-6223
AMCAS -- Private
Deadline: Dec.1
Average GPA: 3.1
Average MCAT: 7.5

This is among the lowest entrance requirements, if not the lowest in the entire USA.

Here is are the requirements of a school in my area for comparision.

University of California - San Francisco
School of Medicine
Admissions, C - 200, Box 0408
San Francisco, CA 94143
(415) 476-4044, FAX (415) 476-1734
AMCAS -- Public
Deadline: Nov.1
Average GPA: 3.75
Average MCAT: VR-10, PS-12, BS-12

The odds of a top Dr. coming from a bottom school are not as good as a top Dr. coming from a top school. Why take a chance with your life?

I think MJ's doc is going to add to the list of doctors with disciplinary action or worst.

From http://www.mombu.com/medicine/heart...etes-blindness-kidney-down-heart-2365592.html

A Courant analysis of disciplinary actions against doctors nationwide
found, however, that both Howard and Meharry produce troubled doctors
more frequently than most other schools - at rates about 10 times
greater than the schools with the lowest numbers. The actions ranged
from a simple citation to permanent license revocation for a range of
misdeeds including medical incompetence, ethical lapses and criminal
behavior.

Nobody really cares where you went to medical school. It's where you did your training that counts (i.e. internship, residency). The guy with the lowest GPA in the graduating class still gets MD behind his name.

ASSactly!:thumbsdow

Perhaps you gentlemen and 2 ladies can enlighten me on why the MJ Cd's were flying off shelves and stores sold out of them right after his death. Do people think these are collector's items now??? That they will never be reproduced?? :confused

Steve.....please refresh me again on what to do when I feel surrounded by stupid people. Is there a spray repellant one can use?:willy

This, and the amount of effort, hospital, and key people taking care of the patient.

And as for Michael, while no one knows the truth, he left himself open to all sorts of allegations. A friend of me told me the ones that should have some concerns right now are those cute little cherubs running around in heaven.

:lol Not to worry! According to what reliable sources tell me, the basis for the "concerns" of which you speak have to have been removed prior to arrival at the 'gates, or admission will be denied. Therefore, either way, the cherubs have nuthin' to worry about! :wink
