Letters to the Editor

Is there any common sense in our government anymore?

Loss of Michael Jackson devasting for everyone

July 3, 2009

EDITOR:

It is devastating to lose Michael Jackson.

I am ashamed of our American society in how he was treated, ridiculed, made fun of, accused and used. He was an extraordinary sensitive soul. Very alone and misunderstoo.
