The send off the entertainment and media world bestowed on Whitney Houston and for that matter Michael jackson was expected because it increases ratings and profits. However what it doesn't do is serve our young well.
I am an advocate for protecting the young as if they are a protected species. and so it is importnat that we watch what we teach them
What do you suppose young eyes and ears learned while watching these misplaced and emotional displays. Granted they deserved a fond farewell . As I mentioned in another thread the two times people say nice things about you is when you retire or when you die.
Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston died because of drug abuse and what does our society do make them legendary heroes. So let's guess how many young people will take the same path because after all even if they OD people will make them legendary even if it is for only a moment.
Our society is so upside down
