Attention

Attention can be anything from a medicine to a poison depending on the dosage and the patient. It always seems to me that the most undeserving people receive the absolute most of it. The recipients range from the local Hometown Hooker to celebrities changing their socks.

Imagine the perfect straight A student who would never hurt a soul. The kind of student every principal wants the entire school to be just like, but never they outstretch their hand of power to pat their back, never a mention on the morning news of another aced test, not even a single congratulations on another 4.0. Now imagine the kid with tattoos that your parents are afraid of that wouldn't even pee on a burning cat. The kind of student every principal wans the entire school to be nothing like, but yet, without realizing, they give this kid the most attention because he does everything wrong. In a few years he may be in the paper for the wrong reason, but lets face it he's still in the paper. More people will know his face and his name than they will the straight A child.

Lindsay Lohan is in the eyes of the media all the time for being a troubled, crack addicted star. Omar Aceves (30), Jarrid L. King (20), Benjamin G. Moore (23), Zainah C. Creamer (28), Evan J. Mooldyk (47), Zachary S. Slamon (21). All these extraordinary men gave their lives on January 12, 2011 while fighting for Lindsay's freedom.

Give credit where credit is due.
