The old saw states the two times people say nice things about you is when you retire and when you die.
I have to admit cognitive dissonnance when hearing people hero worship a person who led their lives as did whitney Houston.
Yes she was a wonderful entertainer but to overlook th obvious is to send the wrong signals to our young.
Amsterdam based on what I have read is sorry they legalized and kind of drugs and prostitution because it has made a mess of their city and their leaders are not attempting to back track.
No one will ever convince me legalizing drugs will solve our problem. Look at the legal prescription drug issue. It has overtaken the street drug problem. to vote for legalization is to either want the right to be an addict or to admit that the war on drugs is not winnable. I believe it is winnable but authorities need to get at the heart of the matter and stop protecting those who either ignore the problem or enable it for political/monetary reasons
