This has little to do with this thread, but seems like the place to ask… Did Michal Jackson ever attempt to have a law passed which would insist on mandatory hugs at bedtime for children from their parents? I have this obscure fact in my head and can’t think where it may have come from. So, did this actually happen, or did I dream it? ---

Yeah, something along those lines. I’m logging off, so can’t do a search, but I remember him proposing some kind of “Kids’ Bill of Rights”. ---

Ok, I found the text about what I was asking, as reported [here.](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1205947.stm) (no mention of mandatory hugs though) > [@](#): > > I would therefore like to propose tonight that we instal in every home a Children’s Universal Bill of Rights, the tenets of which are: > The right to be loved, without having to earn it > > The right to be protected, without having to deserve it > > The right to feel valuable, even if you came into the world with nothing > > The right to be listened to without having to be interesting > > The right to be read a bedtime story without having to compete with the evening news or EastEnders > > The right to an education without having to dodge bullets at schools > > The right to be thought of as adorable (even if you have a face that only a mother could love). ---

As long as somebody bumped this anyway… From the speech: > [@](#): > > I am humbled to be lecturing in a place that has previously been filled by such notable figures as Mother Theresa, Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. > > I’ve even heard that Kermit the Frog has made an appearance here, and I’ve always felt a kinship with Kermit’s message that it’s not easy being green. Right, but Kermie _lived with the fact_ that he was green. ---

I just don’t really see the point of your post otherwise. But if that’s not the case, I owe you an apology. ---

Actually, I had a few different ways to go with that post and couldn’t decide which to use so I kept it brief. Perhaps too brief. Thanks for the apology. And I’m glad that **BNB** took it in the way I intended. 🙂 ---
