Default How Dividends Work?

Exactly how do dividends work? When a company issues a dividend on a stock, doesn't this come out of the stock price? In other words, doesnt the stock automatically fall when the $ is issued to shareholders? If this is the case then why the uproar over dividends when you really do not get anything?
