These days I don't believe anything, Phildo.  I know that sometimes people 
are mistaken and make false assumptions.  I also know that sometimes people 
see what they want to see.  Plenty of innocent people have been executed, 
you know.  How f**king tragic is that then.

Your friend may be totally correct in his observations and conclusions, but 
he may also be tragically mistaken.   If it turns out way in the future that 
MJ was totally innocent of these accusations, how is that going to make you 
feel, having been (perhaps unwittingly) part of the rumour spreading?


Not big, and not clever, IMHO.
