Mar 25 12 2:02 PM More My Recent Posts	(Michael, the dripping snark towards me doesn't really add anything to the dabate about Houston, does it?) I don't know for a fact that friends & family tried to help her; you don't know for a fact that they didn't. But in the vast majority of substance abuse cases, SOMEONE from one or both of those camps usually tries. (I've done it; others on this board have, too.) And because of what Junk is (in all of its variants), they often fail. Read Kristen Johnston's recent "coming out" comments about her own time in that hell. Among other things, she basically admitted that when you're in that grip, The Stuff trumps People every time. (See Tom's post, above.)

Most of us wouldn't find ourselves in a hell like that, so we can't understand how anyone would. And most of us think those folk could pull themselves out if they really really tried. But the truth is that most of us -- most of anyone --couldn't. And, not having experienced anything like that, we just can't imagine it. I don't know a single soul in the Houston circle, but I can't imagine that someone didn't make an effort, and probably a painful one, to help. Sometimes you just can't. Sometimes help is just not possible.

Mar 25 12 7:42 PM More My Recent Posts	Oh, I was being dead serious Craig. I think you have a great heart. Your great heart certainly shows in your comments. I also believe that had you been a bartender at that Grammy party then you would have refused to serve her drinks as well as inform her party that they were helping kill her.

Mar 26 12 3:49 AM More My Recent Posts	And then he wouldn't be hired as a bartender for a-list parties anymore. Addiction to legal or illegal drugs is a disease. Many talented creative people fall victim to such a disease. Many people still smoke cigarettes, even though there's a very good chance it will harm their health and possibly kill them. Human beings often do stupid things. And sometimes they do great things. Watching Whitney destroy her career, lose her beautiful voice, and finally die was sad but the outcome seemed obvious. If she wanted to get off the stuff she would have had a chance. But she didn't. Her friends and hangers-on couldn't do it for her. Playing around with booze, pills, heroin, crack, or whatever is stupid. I don't do it. That's my choice. Free will. But I have sympathy for those caught up in it. We lost Elvis, Joplin, Jimi, and a long list of talent to that stuff. And, I'm sure, many unknown common folk who had their own special qualities. We're not in their shoes, we don't know what happened in their lives that led them down that path. At least they provide a good example of what not to do.

Mar 27 12 8:22 AM More My Recent Posts	Madonna's a bit of a fitness freak and isn't known for taking recreational drugs that I'm aware of. Sometimes children are responsible for their own bad behavior, regardless of parenting. I've lost several good friends to cigarettes, just this past year alone. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger". Unfortunately, not everyone is Conan, not even Whitney Houston. R.I.P.

Mar 27 12 3:48 PM More My Recent Posts	I like the part where the money just keeps rollin' in for Dolly Parton. Sorry, just a little levity to a tragic story. "You can't smell any reefer, can you"?
Wich2		#157	[-]
Mar 27 12 4:53 PM More My Recent Posts	Yeah, and I don't recall hearing that Ms. Parton ever shouted out to showgoers at Dollywood to see if they were poppin' their Oxycontin in the back!
