Dont really care but it kind of diminishes the meaning of lowering the flag for every tom, dick, and whitney
This is probably the most reasonable argument I've heard on either side of it.
I dont see how it diminishes the meaning of lowering the flag for an iconic figure who has passed away WAY too early in her life. If anything that is exactly what lowering flags is supposed to represent. Its a show of respect and deference to the tragedy of a lost human life.
I still don't get how this is a) a tragedy and b) some huge surprise

That's sorta the problem with recovering addicts, they seem to think that all is forgiven for their past transgressions if the people give them a second chance, but that doesn't mean sh*t when it comes to how you treated your body, your kidney, liver, and heart might thank you for the brief reprieve, but they're still failing.

I hear ya Jezz. They sometimes hurt a lot of people along the way and it's hard for some to totally forgive them.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, tragedy that's rich. The only people who this is a tragedy is her family. Much like anyone else who dies
nobody cares but those close to them.
Loss of human life isn't inherently tragic. It's just the way it is.

So basically a GOP governor honors washed up artist turned "crack whore" overdosing.
Only in America.
Thats a great example for a role model, lets memorialize a failure at life.
