We're All Flawed But We're Not All Pedophiles

Today on the radio, I heard a talk-show host say about Michael Jackson "we're all flawed, but we're not all pedophiles." I have to admit that I am a surprised at the reaction towards Michael Jackson's death. And, frankly, it kind of makes me mad.  For sure, we're all flawed.  But, where should we draw the line in honoring those who die?  

As far as I know, Jackson never repented of his alleged (he settled for millions in the case) sodomy of a 13 year old boy.  And, there have been many more claims leveled against him.  We know that he was troubled in many other ways.  Does he deserve our praise over the "few good men" who just died in Afghanistan?  The fact that many of us weren't even aware of the deaths of these fine men speaks volumes.  It gives insight into the waywardness of our culture that we honor Jackson instead.
