? for all these MJ fans...?

Why is it that 6 months ago he was Wacko Jacko the child molester to now being the most loved man in the world? Yes it is sad that he died however why is it okay to glorify drug abuse? I am old enough to remember Michael Jackson at his prime and watched the mess that became his life, also watched as many turned their back on him. I was a MJ fan when I was a kid, I watched Thriller more times then I can remember, saw the 1st moonwalk, danced wildly while Billy Jean played on my Michael Jackson record player but would not call myself a fan now just because he ped. How come none of you had screen names declaring your love for him or profile pictures of him before his death if you are all such huge fans?
