It is tragic. Drugs certainly seem more devastating to musicians than most others. I wonder why?

But, if she didn't have that talent, she'd be a statistic today, and not a headline. That's pretty tragic, too.
Pretty much. I bet there were hundreds of obituaries nationwide yesterday for people dying from an overdose (just making an assumption that this was the case with Whitney) and then the one headline for Whitney. all sad
If she OD, I do not see her death as tragic. Drugs are a choice. If she had kids that are now motherless then that is a tragedy.
Yes, trying drugs is a choice. Addiction is not. The tragedy is that her death could have been prevented. A drug addict dying to me isn't a whole lot different than a cancer patient dying. You wish they were cured instead.
I have no fear of ever becoming addicted to drugs, as I am smart enough to not take them. I do fear cancer because it can just appear in anybody.

Though you say you're smart enough to not take drugs Hawkshot, that's a pretty ignorant statement. You assume all drug addictions are the result of recreational experimentation.
I lost a good friend to an oxy overdose. An old skiing buddy. Got in a major wreck that required back surgery. He was prescribed oxys to help with his recovery and essentially just wasted away. One night he took a fatal amount of oxys combined with alcohol and was dead at 31 years old.
I don't know how Whitney Houston got hooked on drugs. It's a tragedy that she did because she is dead now. It happens to a lot of people. It sucks.
