Just Another Circus or NOT?!

I read something that bugged me today about how Europeans are down the path of self-destruction. This was in response to a post on a forum made by an European that the MJ trail is a circus. Personally, I don't really care to debate the issue of his guilt or innocence(perhaps that's cos I don't have any kids). It is a criminal case and I would leave it to the justice system to deal with it. On the other hand I think that without knowing the facts, it is better to be just and afford the man the presumption of innocence(even if we seriously doubt it). Botttom Line; Is that we do not know the facts either way! We are simply bombarded with information from the media with their spin on it(even THEY don't have all the details). The greatest illusion is that of knowledge! So in defense of Europeans sometimes a more pragmatic approach to certain issues will yield less violatile debates that are essentially pointless.
