Fallibility is one of our defining characteristics as humans, just some make larger mistakes than others and rebound faster too. I think some of us could learn a bit of compassion(not necessarily for the deceased but perhaps towards those for whom she will be missed). Now I realize from reading this thread that some of you are very passionate about drug use and that's awesome, I'm 100% anti drug too. I'm also convinced this thread is not the proper venue for a "flaming Whitney Houston" extravaganza.

My condolences to those who are saddened by the passing of Whitney Houston.
I am sorry to those who miss her. But don't we have freedom of speech, aren't we entitled to opinions????? To each his own.
