Okay then the state was completely in the right to fly it half mast. I admire people for their good sides not their bad sides when the bad sides only affect them.

Nothing at all...maybe with a bit in the newspaper or naming the wing of a pediatric ward to which she donated funds. But to place a national or state flag at half mast for her just takes away the honor or significance of the thing when it is normally reserved for those who have actually served their country or state in some self-sacrificing way.
What it says to me is that her financial donations puts her on equal footing as someone who may have sacrificed their life for many and it cheapens that sacrifice.
But...hey, who cares? She was famous, rich and had a God given talent that she wasted with drugs, domestic violence and court appearances. Why not have her honored as a roll model for the youth of the day? Good idea!
Absolute bull crap. Just another way to take away honor from those who deserve it. A death from drug overdose is a shameful death. It should never be celebrated.
Pete,
Before you make suppositions, and assumptions; you should be aware of the facts. I was young 40 years ago.
Nowhere in my post is an attack on anyone. Either 9/11 victims, murdered children, military, or Whitney Houston.
I simply stated a fact.
If the people in Whitney's home state wish to mourn her passing, I will support that, and not throw stones.
She was a great talent, and an even greater person. The world is a smaller place because of her passing.
