I want some focus on the OTHER 48 people named in the indictment - CEOs have been mentioned, but all we get are names of two female actresses? Bullshit!

Why couldn’t they have gotten their kids in the old fashioned way by donating a library or something? Wealthy people bribe schools all the time but usually it’s hard to prove because the money is given in the form of donations. Bush Jr. and Jared Kushner got into Yale and Harvard respectively because of their parents’ wealth.

Ooo i'm living for this

I am watching the Oprah interview now. She is excellent. It really brings everything into focus. When Michael Jackson died, even knowing the previous allegations, I played his music all day. Remembered how amazing his music was. I watched his movie documentary This is It and loved it. Now, I cannot ever listen again. I am not sure why now is different for me. But it is. As you all may remember I have three daughters, and I coach cheer. Since the Rihanna incident, I have told my daughters and athletes Chris Brown songs are not allowed to be played in my presence. When doing comp music for my squads, I made specific instructions no Chris Brown. I feel the exact way about MJ now. I have watched hundreds of cheer routines. So many had his music, some were a complete tribute to him. I don’t think this will ever happen again. I do think MJ will go down like Spacey and Cosby. Quite honestly, I don’t think Weinstein will be as affected. Simply because it is too much work to consciously avoid him. You have to look at the credits or production company.

you do make good points, Hoya!

This article seemed to hit home for me. Previously when our generational idols died it was tragically young and of some unnatural cause. This is really like the first person our age who, while young, is not so young that they can’t die of natural causes. https://www.today.com/health/luke-perry-s-death-generation-x-s-wake-call-t149917?cid=sm_npd_td_fb_ma
