Amy Winehouse.RIP

Murdoch and Roger Ailes have something to do with this?

Man that's a reach there dude.

And people wonder why the political climate is so hostile :)

Thanks for the political talking points.

And this involves Amy Winehouse how?

Religious leanings aside, not all deaths merit respect. Since each of us will die, I think the respect due, if any, is for the way you lived- not the fact that the inevitable- death- took you.

Winehouse had some talent, and she was clearly an addict. But she bears ultimate responsibility for her own demise.

One thing is certain- this subject and the passions it inspires will quickly fade, and Winehouse will be resigned to distant memory.

That is how life works, it has always been that way, and it always will.

"Addiction is like drinking from a well and falling in."

Blkadr- that's a very good description.

Tubegroover-

I believe the anonymity of the web has greatly heightened the lack of civility.

I see it on every forum I'm on, be it music, technology or politics. And it's not just one side spewing the vitriol. The liberals and conservatives throw equal amounts of rhetoric without thought.

People have access to greater enlightenment than any generation to date, but enlightenment is becoming more rare.

Oh well- listen to some great music!
