what has happened to common sense, intelligence, honor and respect among the American people?

Someone who was give God's gift of a lovely singing voice, a documented drug and alcohol user, takes her own life because of them. Now someone wants the Governor of her home state to fly the flags at half-mast. Why? Just because of the media flooding our every waking moments of her demise? Why aren't the flags flown at half-mast for all the military who paid the ultimate price for her and our freedom while defending our country? Other than singing for the idiotic masses, what has she done to defend our country? Or any other present day so-called celebrity, for that matter. Nothing, absolutely nothing. The celebrities of yesteryear fought in WW II, were patriotic and were proud to do so, unlike the whiners and complainers of today. No one needs to answer my questions, just think about them.

    I agree with you that veterans need to receive a lot more respect than they are getting, and drug-ridden celebrities a lot less. Americans have become spoiled and narcissistic,the result being that they give regard to those who immediately gratify their senses, instead of to those who deserve it because of the incredible sacrifices they have made.

    You have a point. It's what sells. The media is responsible and the photo people. This time next year they won't even remember her death. As long as people can make money it will last til then. Elves is an example with Graceland. I just respect the dead no matter who they are and sometimes the memories of them are not so good.. Jo Ann

    These empires have been falling for thousands of years, having identified with wealth and materialism, cultures fall into moral decay which in turn gives rise to dictatorships.

    Murdoch's machine > Zionists capitalism > moral relativistic dominion/false god > neo-cons acting on the philosophies of relativist nihilists like Leo Strauss > mechanisation > departmentalisation > Dehumanisation > Eugenics > cops carrying out entrapment stings which affects free will ~ vital to humanity > hubris, advocacy of scorning and scoffing by the likes of Jerry Springer

    Lets hope Ron Paul can help if he gets a squeak.

    Too many avaricious sinners vying for power of which evil has a great interest in.

    The more the liberals get a foothold, the more those things will go away.

    As for the drugged-out singer, obviously a lot of pathetic people have no real lives, so they sit around mourning some POS that threw her own away.

    I wish your question was a little deeper, the fact is the media preys on us common folk, they know were to busy to actually pay attention to whats going on in the world. The publicity surrounding celebrity death is just to avert our attention from the real issues, like were about to attack Iran which WILL start WW3.

    Humankind has always had a small percentage, tenuous hold on all those things. It's always a 10% percenter, lucky we got any situation.

    You see on the highway every day...common sense, intelligence, honor, and respect all get thrown out the window during Rush Hour.
