Everyone talks about Neverland Ranch as though it was still Michael Jackson's favorite place, in fact Mr. Jackson said in an interview that his love and the peace he once felt for Neverland was distroyed by the wrongful alligations against him and the police brutality he suffered by the local authorities. My take on it is, it was most likely that the local yokals wouldn't stand by him either during that time but the taxes he paid sure were nice to pay the paychecks for the very same that abusded him. It's a shame California still hasn't learned from it's earlier mistakes and allow Neverlandf to become a tourist attraction, if California went back to being a tourist attraction they would actually make some money of their own instead of leaching off of everyone else. If you don't think I have a right to talk like that about California, think again! I lived in California all over the L.A and San Fernando Valley areas from 1960-1986 when I moved to the Desert areas of California till I left California just this year in late March.Not quite 50 years old myself, I grew up in a sence with the Jackson's. I loved Michael Jackson and I always will, having been too shy to say much the closest I ever came to meeting him was when Latoya Jackson broke down in front of my family's duplex in Van Nuys and asked to use our phone, I couldn'd even get the nerve to ask for her autograph much less have a conversation with her, in 1985. But I will never forget the oppositions I came against when I said Michael Jackson was innocent and sometimes still do.
