Whitney Houston got nearly a week of having the flag at half staff. How does she rate above Neil Armstrong? Neil has accomplished more than she has in an endeavor that MEANT something. Singing and acting are fluff compared to going to the moon and doing what Neil and the rest of those guys did back then. The shooting at that temple a few weeks ago garnered a few days of having the flag lowered. And Neil gets ONE DAY!

Does he deserve a state funeral? Probably because of who is was, that being the first to set foot on another world. But he was a private man and will get a private service. He may have wanted things that way. He may have been embarassed by a full blown state funeral.

I assume this is a rhetorical question.

She shouldn’t even gotten a half-mast dedication. But with the current dictatorship, celebrities from entertainment are given first priority. What value do celebs add, nothing !

Oh Lord. Whitney Houston ONLY received a state recognition at 1/2 staff. Obama is giving Armstrong FEDERAL recognition. If everyone is so concerned, why not get on the Governor’s butt?
