Mundy’s column was right on the mark

Dear Editor,
As a citizen, I really liked Dave Mundy’s column regarding funeral for a celebrity. 
I totally agree that American’s put WAY too much emphasis on celebrities.  Why we now have it included in the daily T.V. news broadcasts along with the Weather and Sports? It is so ridiculous. 
If war were to come on U.S. shores, you can bet the rich celebrities will flee the country that made them rich.  I also find it appalling to fly the flag at half staff for Whitney Houston; it is a mockery of what our nation stands for ... or does it?
