	Inappropriate by a large portion of society. As somebody pointed out 
with the Bashir documentary clip, he even admitted to behavior that many 
people would find inappropriate.

	It isn't, however, illegal. And I suspect it's not even "universally" 
inappropriate (in terms of all of humanity).

	My bottom line is that we're all free to dislike him for those things 
that are quite clear. However, while I might not want my kids around him 
without some reliable adult monitoring, I'm not going to judge other 
parents who let their kids hang around him.

	From all I have seen (and I admit not to looking into it with fervor), 
the only thing I can say about MJ was that he behaved differently. It's 
normal that it makes people be on guard when being around folks who just 
act contrary to social norms, but that's it.

statistics class. Now I no longer think that.
Sue: Sounds like the class helped.
Mike: Well...maybe.
