Whitney Houston - DEAD at 48

Patrick Bateman: Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christie?
Elizabeth: [laughing] You actually listen to Whitney Houston? You own a Whitney Houston CD? More than one?
Patrick Bateman: It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

Sad ending for a talented performer. But......did they really fly the flag at half staff in her state?

Perhaps I a missing the point here..

trag-ic/ˈtrajik/
Adjective:

1. Causing or characterized by extreme distress or sorrow.
2. Suffering extreme distress or sorrow.

People don't technically misuse the word, they're just idiots. If the death of a drug addicted billionaire who you've never met causes you extreme sorrow, you need to check yourself. Psssst! There are children starving to death all over the world without anyone giving a flying crap. A singer who had every resource possible and still chose to 'crack' themselves to death isn't tragic. At the very most it should conjur an 'aw, shucks.'
