[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I turn off MJ songs now.

But do you make sure you treat everything you consume as diligently?  Make sure the restaurants you eat at don't support causes you oppose?  Don't watch Woody allen or Roman Polanski movies?  Don't support any politician who does things that are morally reprehensibly per your value system?

I think it's a bit nuts to focus on MJ's purported offenses unless you are prepared to take the same hard line against everything tainted by evil in our society.  Crooked foreclosing banks?  The Catholic Church?  Heck, the Epsicopal and Jehovah's Witnesses have had sex scandals too....[/quote]

I would never purport to say I don't unintentionally support organizations that cause harm to people, but I will say I try really hard to avoid doing so.

I'm not part of any church or organized religion. I have my own personal spiritual views, but I don't go to organized religious services. I am a vegetarian because I don't like factory farming or the environmental impact of eating especially red meat. I researched the labor practices of children's clothing companies when I had my daughter and only buy clothes for her from places that have ethical labor practices. We bought our home in a community specifically built to reduce car dependence and promote a sustainable lifestyle.

Again, I'm not perfect, but I believe in making conscious, informed choices whenever possible. [/quote]
