DYING YOUNG

It is always tragic when a young person dies.  It is right that the kids should outlive the parents.  However, when the young person in question is a drug addict, binge drinks and does not look after their own health the consequences are inevitable.

Our deepest sympathies should go to Mr and Mrs Winehouse and their family, extended family and friends, they have, after all lost a daughter, a relation and a friend but come on.....what's with the national and international outpouring of grief.

The girl was hardly mother Theresa.  She didn't, as far as I have read, save the world, give her life for her family and country and she didn't invent or create something that will alleviate world poverty or hunger.  Her last couple of concerts she could hardly sing a note, forgot her words and fell over.  She was a reasonable singer (when she was sober and not drugged to the eyeballs) but she was a drug addict, hardly a role model for the young of the world, yet her death has grabbed world headlines, streets have to close while idiots lay flowers outside her house and we hear morons - who never met her and didn't know her - interviewed on the news telling us how much they loved her, how she will be missed and that they don't know if they can go on without her. 

IF YOU NEED TO MOURN, MOURN FOR THE BRAVE HEROES WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
