Maybe I'm just getting too hung up on the logic of this whole proposition. I agree with all the above, but it's irrelevant. Whether MJ choses to make his HIV status public knowledge or not does not alter the basic fact that he has the virus.

I've been attending a festive get-together involving several alcoholic drinks today. If I go out tonight, drive my car and run over another person, whether or not I get caught/convicted/punished will not alter the basic fact that I will have committed a crime and would be a criminal.

But rest assured, for tonight, my car stays safely parked
