Michael Jackson has died

[dirac]

Maureen Orth’s commentary and cumulative reporting on Jackson in Vanity Fair.

I imagine there's a lot more that hasn't come to light yet. We should not forget that Jackson wielded considerable power and wasn’t especially shy about using it. The rich, famous, and powerful always have their enablers but this does not deprive them of autonomy and the capacity to make decisions for themselves.

...and bravo for the nurse who declined administering the drug to Jackson. It is the nurse job to brake the chain of medication errors/negligence/abuse. We need more of those nurses around, even if they get constantly screamed and abused by doctors and patients.
