Getting people to pay attention

Tragic. CNN story about the murder rates in New Orleans and what one person is trying to do about getting people to pay attention. He's got a "murder board" that he updates with the names of victims.

Looks like one of those war veteran plaques you see so often. But he's also got a new and what seems to me creative and potentially effective way to remind those in charge.

Every Monday, Father Bill has red roses delivered to Mayor Ray Nagin and Police
Chief Warren Riley -- a single rose for each death that weekend.

It can't be fun getting that weekly reminder.
