More on the social significance of the life of Michael Jackson in The Globe and Mail.

I find this piece to be respectful of, and generous to, Michael Jackson while also appropriately criticizing the man, his work, his doctors and the society that surrounds them all. Surely Dalrymple withholds discussion of Jackson’s troubling relationship with children purely out of respect for the recently departed.

From The Social Affairs Unit: “Theodore Dalrymple argues that the police should use their instincts – in other words their prejudices – more, not less, if they are to be more effective in fighting crime.”
