News-ish: Whitney Houston's Gone!

Sad loss! Another talent wasted! :,(
Seems like our leading lady has lost her battle with cocaine/crack (?) addiction at last. 
Sadly after many years and multiple visits to rehab, another legendary, seemingly strong woman throws her life down the drain with drugs. Apparently though, now HER doctors are going to be held responsible  for her death. Many news forms are already stating that they are the "reason" she died. 

FOR REAL!? WHY is it that the doctors are now in charge of these peoples lives?! She, Michael and anyone else CAN say NO! It's ONE word! ONE EASY WORD! NO! You should have enough interest in your life to ask if the medications you are going to be taking will react negatively with anything you are [already] on. It is NOT their fault if you lie about smoking dope and doing crack! It is not their responsibility to hold your hand! Their job is to treat your symptoms per your request... maybe Whitney was addicted to prescription meds... who's to say. Only SHE should be held accountable for her drug use, not anyone else. Friend's and family tried to help her but it appears she was too far gone. Too deep to crawl out of the drug hole she had dug herself into.

I've never been one for drugs or addictions [other than shoes and shopping] but if you know what a drug does to someone, WHY would you start using it?! I never understood how people became addicted to coke, crack, meth and all those other nasty drugs. They tear you up and kill you!! Alcohol too! It's just as deadly! Don't like it either... sigh. 

She was, at one point, an inspiration to many. Such a sad, terrible loss. I hope people will keep the better memories of her alive, and not the sad ones. But also, I hope that people will let her accept the responsibility of her actions and not blame others for her mistakes.
