Voting through Spending: Remembering Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is dead, likely killed by the pressures of the industry that made him famous. To commemorate him, people are buying his CDs in record quantities. I find this to be a very questionable behavior.
Given all the harm that the industry (and perhaps his family) caused him, perhaps true fans should consider not giving the industry and his family more money. A more sensible way to commemorate him might be to volunteer with a drug treatment program or to help stop loved ones from abusing prescription medications or drugs. Doing that would help solve problems rather than perpetuating them.
