M Jackson is a Mormon. Oh wait that's wrong.\nHe was raised JW (Jehovah's Witness).\n\nBut it has been rumored that he was raising money for scientology.\n\nWho could guess what his faith is? Maybe, like Whitney, he believes the 'children are the future'?

Did you just accidentally leave out THE REV? Jessee Jackson or are his views more to you're liking so its OK for him?

He has to live with the truth. Corruption is rampant. But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and he will get his just rewards. Anyone in the public eye needs to maintain a sense of worth. Look at what happened to Bill Clinton.\n\nPS - My name is Marty also (I'm female though)

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana), is an American singer, dancer, songwriter, and record producer. Jackson began his career as the lead singer of Motown act The Jackson 5 in the 1960s and 1970s. After beginning a full-fledged solo career in 1979, Jackson went on to become the most successful African-American solo artist in music history, and one of the most successful popular music singers of all time. He is also known as the King of Pop. Jackson's successful career has gained him legions of fans, both devoted and obsessive. He has, however, been dogged by media fascination with his transracially changing physical appearance and what some perceive as an eccentric lifestyle, resulting in his being nicknamed Wacko Jacko.\n\nJackson is fond of children, and, apart from having his own, he has had friendships with a number of other children, ranging from disadvantaged children to child celebrities. He has invited many groups of children to his ranch and has sponsored a variety of charitable activities. However, he has also repeatedly been accused of child molestation. In a 2005 trial for alleged child molestation and other offenses in Santa Maria, California, Jackson denied all charges, and was found not guilty of all charges on June 13, 2005.\n\nJackson has received numerous music industry awards including 18 Grammys. He has sold more than 200 million records worldwide as a solo artist and another estimated 100 million records with The Jackson 5. His Thriller video is considered the greatest music video of all time and a large step forward in artistic quality for music videos. MTV and Rolling Stone magazine in a list compiled in 2000 named four of his songs ("Billie Jean" #5, The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" #9, "Beat It" #22, and "Rock with You" #82) among the 100 greatest pop songs of all time. [1] (http://www.twin-music.com/lists/rsmtvtop100.html)\n\nHis hit album Thriller is the biggest-selling album of all time worldwide with over 58 million copies sold. The album is also the best-selling album containing all-original material in terms of domestic US sales--27 million copies sold. It is second to The Eagles' greatest hits collection Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975), which has sold 28 million copies.\n\n\nPersonal background\n \nThe cover to Michael Jackson's Thriller: Special EditionJackson was born the seventh of nine children in Gary, Indiana to Joseph Jackson and Katherine Jackson. The entire family--including older siblings Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, LaToya, and Marlon, and younger siblings Randy and Janet--lived in a tiny two-bedroom house, and Jackson's father Joseph Jackson earned a meager living working in a steel mill. Jackson and his sister LaToya both claimed that their father was cruel and physically abusive to his children. Jackson broke down and wept during a television interview when asked about this, and said that even as an adult just meeting his father often made him physically ill.\n\nAt the behest of their mother Katherine but against Joseph's wishes, the Jackson children were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses and practiced door-to-door evangelization. Jackson continued to do so after becoming famous, but then in disguise. His career and flamboyant style led to friction with congregation elders. At one point, his sister LaToya was shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses, and in 1987, he formally left the religion.\n\nDue to Joseph Jackson's strict rules, the Jackson children were kept locked in their house while he worked the night shift. However, the children would sneak out of the house to their neighbors where they practiced singing and playing music. Eventually, Jackson found out about their musical abilities and decided to capitalize upon it in order to leave Gary for California. Michael Jackson later attended and graduated from Montclair College Preparatory School.\n\n \nA map of Jackson's Neverland R

Uhm,\n\nWhat religious leaders are not hypocritical?  If you want to stir up the pot a little try the Reverend (underlined) Jesse (exclam) Jackson (stars all around).  But I will tell you this - you are going to piss off probably 90 percent of the people who read what you write, and if it is for a college class, you should pick a less controversial topic.

Forgiveness is essential. Now unless something has happened since I saw the News Last Night, he only confessed to Meth use. I doubt the Homosexual accusations. But even if that were true, Forgiveness is essential.

It is difficult to measure levels of corruption. There is no scale that I know of such as the Richter Scale for earth quakes. However, I can't recall a more corrupt administration and I have been around for a long time. But, whether there was or wasn't, there is certainly no excuse for what is going on right now. We should send them all home (or to jail) today.

I can't believe you included Oprah in your assesment.\nOprah is the best thing that happened to the US of A in a long time, she does things for people way above and beyond \nmediocrity. She does what our government should do and is an awesome lady who uses her success to help people and to expose injustice and do something about it.I admire her and her choices and her life, I would look to her for intervention or an act of assistance or kindness before I would look to my own government .Oprah is a shaker and mover and \ndoes the work of angels, I an offended that you would use her in the same sentence or context of Al sharpton. No comparison, Sharpton isnt responsible for hatred, he's an embarresment at best it's nothing more then amusing that he is a spokesperson for equality and justice , hardly capable of an impact of relieving the country of hatred by going away.\nWhy in the world would jesse jackson bother you, who stands up for your rights when you are wronged. You are brainwashed

people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton remain in the public's line of sight by capitalizing on racial discord.\n\nI for one despise racism: this is why the so-called "Reverends" earn my disgust, they believe prejudicial  behavior is exclusive to whites, while perpetuating the double standard.\n\nWhat is this double standard that I speak of?\n\nThat it's impossible for blacks and other minorities to be racists.  Ever hear Chris Rock damn whitey and call him cracker for two hours during one of his acts?\n\n\nI personally am tired of being blamed for all the world's ills because I'm a white heterosexual-male that believes in God.

The story is buried, but I saw the video. Taped in 1982 and about 54 minutes long,  it has John explaining to undercover agents posing as mid eastern businessmen how he was able to secure political favors beneficial to people looking to do business in his district. These guys wanted to do some coal mining and Mr. Murtha said he was the guy who could pave the way in his neighborhood. To his credit and slick operating style Mr. Murtha did not take the money himself but, he said other unnamed people would contact them in a few days to complete the deal. The agents tried but could not get Murtha to divulge any names.\nJohn Martha is no Marion Barry when behind closed doors.

Maybe it is you that is just finding this out.\nThere have always been corrupt leaders.\nPower corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We sat watching Tv last night. And both of us were glad that the whole thing would be over today. We received many calls...    and one interesting call from Governor Grandholm-Mi.  She stated that 'this is the last time I'll call you',.... then magically, she called AGAIN. Talk about not keeping personal promises!!!\n\nAnother 'funny' one this morning . . .Jesse Jackson called. .  ... . Thank God for 'delete' buttons\n\nEDIT* - Unbelievable... . I just got another call from Grandholm..  .I politely asked why she has her campaign continue to call after she 'promised' that they wouldn't call again.

I think they are allowing  these no longer residents to vote to keep Rev Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other so called black "leaders" from whining, bitching, and screaming their usual claim of dis-disfranchisement and discrimination more than they already have. I hate if anyone thinks that sounds racist but it is just how I see the situation. Every time there is a bad situation involving African American People those vulchers take every opportunity to get before the public and further their own interests.They are worse for their people than the Klan was!

Harry Reid is a perfect example of the Democrat "Culture of Corruption"\n\nHe has been taking "Bribe Money" for years and engaged in numerous illicit land deals.\n\nHe owns the largest lobbying organization in Nevada and his four sons are paid lobbyists.\n\nHe has even stooped to using campaign money for tipping which is contrary to the Senate Ethic rules.\n\nHe will not resign as he is totally aware of the Double Standard that permits Democrats from being punished for Corruption and punishes Republicans for similar illicit actions.\n\nHis is probably invulnerable as the people of Nevada not only condone criminal acts on the part of their legislative representatives and their legislatures  but also seemingly applaud them.

nearly impossible question to answer accurately unless you defined 'ehtical lapse' and then researched it over the past 200+ years.  I'd tend to say it is about even and there are definitely examples of corruption in both major parties.
