Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. - Gertrude Stein

So...Whitney Houston died the night before the 2012 Grammy's...and people are shocked.  But really, shocked?  Whitney Houston has openly spoken about her drug and alcohol addiction.  Is it sad that her life has come to an end?  Yes.  Is is sad that she spent most of her life battling her personal demons?  Yes.  Is it sad that she has left a child without a mother?  Yes.  But now, let's move on.  I'm not quote sure when all the need for information on a celebrity death and the need to have every gory detail started.  I will admit...I listen.  There were times when I did want to know all the things that happened.  Maybe I'm getting older or more jaded, but this time...I just don't care.  Is it sad for all the reasons I said above?  Yes.  But is there a need for all the breaking news?  No.  So she has died.  Now...Let's move on.  Ultimately it's the loss of a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend to someone.
