Whitney and the powder

It's a wonderful world.

In response to the responses my comment generated I have this. I do not want my daughter growing up in a world where we glorify the wrongdoings of others because they had some kind of gift. Whitney had all the chances and help available to her and instead she decided to keep going the direction she was. This is not 1970. It is 2012. There is information and assistance available to every single person. I come from a long line of serious addicts, my aunt and uncle have been clean and sober for over 30 years. They do not blame some chemical imbalance, nor do they thing it was a disease. it was a choice. Over and over a choice. My mother and I broke the cycle on that side of the family with the use of willpower and the information available to us. Looking to the past for guidance. To glorify someone who kills them self at 40-something years old is a disgrace. The fact that she was given something that most would give an arm for is even more gut wrenching. Maybe if we dont glorify some drug addict, some one else wont try drugs. The world doesnt need people like her. The world doesnt need people who glorify addicts because they are larger than life. The world needs to glorify people who make the right decisions in the first place. That is always over looked. We say that someone who made wrong choices then gets caught and finally makes the right decision, is great and a wonderful person, while the person over here who never made wrong choices gets swept aside. Personal responsibility. The world needs more of it.

While I understand my comment has not sat well with some of you, I can not apologize for how i feel. I have felt this way for a long time and it is not some water cooler knee jerk reaction. Ask Amoergosum about my rant a year ago when Ryan Dunn commited suicide doing 100mph in a Porsche on a wet windy PA road in the middle of the night with 2-3x the blood alcohol level.

The sooner we stop coddling addicts and treat them with a heavier hand, we will stop having younsters fgrowing up believeing its ok. If I lose credibility on here because some pop star blew it and I called her on it, fine. i know i am not a hypocrite.

Whitney drowned. She had some drugs in her system, and she may not have drowned if she hadn't abused her body so much over the years, but she drowned. I was never a fan of hers, but the girl could sing like nobody's business, and it's a tragic shame that she died at such a young age.

I didn't mean your comment was a knee jerk reaction. Was stating this news is mindless chatter. She's dead. Shame. whatever. glorifying her, nope. Lots of amazing singers on the earth. Drugs are bad when over used and abused. Commen sense. Don't worry about your daughter being influenced on famous people doing drugs. There will come a time when an individual knows how to deal and cope with recreational drugs and booze. I could give two flying horse shits about famous people dying from an overdose. The earth will keep spinning the same for most. You still didn't answer how the earth is a better place. How is WH passing going to effect billions in a positive way now that she is dead? Abusing food kills also. So many scenarios. Guess she made some poor choices. don't care how she died either. I just found your comment funny. "better place". Every guy and girl I know could give a shit if she is alive or dead. doesn't effect any of us. Must be perplexing to you huh.
