Let that be only the beginning. week I'm feeling a little more usual, and a certain aspect of that's bothering me is what I'll Now, this serious than society address. I'd prefer to forget about it (knowing that ignore something, it will go away) but I can't. The reason for this is that every time I see something concerning O.J. Simpson, it comes to my mind. Who are the heroes of the United States? continuously hear people saying that O.J. d you will be he is acquitted or judged unfairly because an "American hero." Sometimes these sound suspiciously like they're people sayi- ng that because this guy can run and catch real good, that if he kills some people the country him go. Well, should give him a break and let enough about The Juice. The point would a firefighter get this kind of respect and concern from the country? In fact, are they appreciated at all? It's hard to believe that a teacher of the children or a doctor who saves lives is appreciated as much as a when the boxer makes 10 times more than the doctor and 100 times more than the teacher. I don't know if other people just don't think about this, don't care, or are bound and gagged, but I am going to take this space to show appreciation for those people is, pro-box- that I er think really make a difference.

Admittedly, I find mvself being constantly annoyed by a few of the officers in this area, and, well, I wish they'd leave me alone.

Hey, they're out there fighting for the rights of all of us, and if they aren't killed, chances are they'll see something that might make them wish they were. Now that is worth some money. Fifth, the few people in political power, past and present, who really took that responsibility and used that power to make life for common people better. Abraham Lincoln, for example, is a hero. Sixth, scientists. Somebody had to get electricity to the scoreboard, and somebody had to find the cure for that disease, and somebody had to create the machine that HELP WANTED MENWOMEN police-officer- s, David Johnson is the opinion editor of The Dixie Sun.

I'm sure there's a few I'm forgetting (so write and tell me so) but these are the people who should make lots of money and receive lots of admiration. By the way, who's O.J. Simpson? up 102C. 1 you who abuse your jobs (such as "privately owned" elementary teachers who "just tap the kids on the head" with the ruler until it breaks, and religious leaders who drive a Ferrari) you really bite, and this has nothing to do with you.
