How Tolerant Are You? ( Michael Jackson and Porsche content)

[Tin Hat]

So, having just turned 50, I am aiming to be as tolerant as my chemistry will allow.

As I reflect upon this mild challenge, I am considering how tolerant society is in general.

I couldn’t help reflecting upon the fact that time does tend to indulge things that historically appeared to be abhorrent - I am mindful that Porsche couldn’t help themselves when volunteers were sought to build tanks to further the nazi cause & Michael Jackson’s musical brilliance is currently tarnished by the extensive accusations made about his conduct. It will be interesting to consider societies opinion of him in the longer term?

In a decade or so, will we celebrate the joy brought to many people by having things fixed for them by Jim?

To be fair, he also smoked a cigar, so it may take a bit longer than that

I’m pretty sure this isn’t hanging at Windsor Castle.

2 interesting but different examples there.
If you like the vw beetle, its not the cars fault as it only links to him as a brilliant engineer?
Listening to a michel jackson song, its his voice and lyrics, so ok a bit weird and creepy?

Didnt Ford and GM also support the nazis and profiteered from both sides? Infact Henry Ford hated the jews too. But still I cant link that to my mums Ford Focus.
