Unpopular post in Facebook.
I posted on Facebook not too long ago about how the death of privileged and wealthy celebrities due to over dose of drugs or substance abuse did not make me feel sad and sorry for them. I was being truthful in how I felt. Those dead celebs (MJ, Whitney, Amy, Heath) had the power and resource to do something and they are in the end responsible for their death. There are millions of people around the world who end up dying cause they are helpless that makes me sad instead. I have no sympathy for a dead celebrity who abused drugs or alcohol cause they have the means. Anyways, nobody commented to that post in Facebook which told me that my opinion was unpopular. In the end, I did not care that my opinion was unpopular. I was not about to join the band wagon of people who all of a sudden have nothing but nice thing to say about these dead celebrities. I have always taken pride in the fact that I am not easily influenced to join the band wagon of a popular opinion. I have refused to join the band wagon on the Superbowl or the World series or the World Cup. And I am not about to join the band wagon on sympathy for dead drug addict celebs. Any celebrity who dies of drug/alcohol overdose will always loose my respect. Be that a popular opinion or not, I will stand by what I feel.

I actually talked to my sister Lynn about your post and how much I agree with it. I even told her that I was surprised by the number of people who, out of nowhere, admitted they're Whitney H. fans. Don't worry about folks not commenting or liking your status. Your opinion is valid anytime. After all, it's yours.
thanks cez. good to know I am not alone.
I agreed with your post,too. Maybe it was one of those too-soon truths that nobody wanted to acknowledge just yet. I liked Whitney's talent but disapproved of her behavior. With all the controversy, it helps to remember that her mother lost a child. And her child lost a mother. And if we believe the media, her daughter seems headed down the same self-destructive path.
