This is for Michael Jackson fans and those who love and appreciate him as much as I do.

His fans are people who:

Do not judge others by their physical appearance.

Understand that a person is still the same person inside despite changes on the outside.

Have the sense and maturity not to follow opinions of the majority such as the media, much like sheep do.

Can see the beauty and kindness in someone that the rest do not bother trying to.

Have a deep sense of true justice and are willing to exercise it through the examination of rumours and innuendos.

Peace. Love you Michael x x x
