A comment on a Vos Iz Neias Blog entry today denoted that Mr. Michael Jackson was "50", so noone could tell him what to do or direct him really into any treatment program for his drug use.
I wrote the following reply to this fellow (the 3rd commenter).

Sincerity is a way of blessing your would be way of being a Jew. A person's age does not negate in any way the capacity and obligation of a society to offer him healing and services. To say that Michael was 50 and thus his problems are not a child's problems any more is like announcing to the planet that you are a bonifide adult without any pain and suffering and that you have it all under your belt from the time you turn... say.. what....18?? 30??? 60. No thanks. G-d is our enforcer of understanding and life and thus if you want to play too old to have prayers, then you are simply either not intelligently abridged in your own Torah or you simply do not care.
