I thought about posting this in the RIP thread, but I didn't think it was the place due to people grieving in there and this could turn into a pretty good debate. Anyways, what do you all think about this?
Do you agree w. the NJ Govenor's decision to fly flags at half-mast in honor of Whitney Houston?

When did the death of a person who touched Millions with her music become trivial

How is one persons death more important than another?
Flags should permanently be at half mast. People die everyday B

Agreed.
Its not the fact that her music touched millions is being deemed as trivial but the fact that people care whether or not the flags are flown at half-mast. Really?! Who cares how her home state chooses to honor her?? Whether the flags are flown at half-mast or not changes nothing.

People are hypocrites and quick to judge.
Having a drug addiction should not erase the fact that her music not only inspired many, but was also therapeutic, enjoying, and will be for generations to come. She changed the world with her voice. Her vices should not preclude her from the respect she deserves, in her native state at that.
The same ones haranguing her were probably bumping her greatest hits when they heard the news.

If they want to do it go ahead.. It's not like Whitney is really a contraversial and divisive person..

After they have a prayer service for Whitney, will Nicky Minaj be there to perform her exorcism? Or is that sequence of events strictly reserved for the Grammys?

Perhaps it's a tribute to be reserved for public servants, but Gov. Christie has a history of giving the honor to cultural contributors (Clarence Clemons) - so why not Whitney? Even with her public problems, she was a cultural treasure and contributed heavily to the area.

Nope! sorry. Fly the flags at half mast for them young men an women who actually contributed to this country by serving. What do they get? This whole celebrity thing has gotten out of hand.
