Most graffiti is defacement of public or private property, and that is why it is and should be covered up. Besides that, a lot of major cities now have designated areas for the "street artists" to practice and display their art.<br /><br />This is just as bad as the destruction of the Buddha statue in Afghanistan by Islamic Al Qaeda. Hopefully they will succeed in their wish and go back in time -- to a point in time before they had opposable thumbs. Hopefully that happens soon, as I have heard ancient monuments in Egypt are also in their crosshairs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-3440118006392804382012-09-21T00:00:37.472-05:002012-09-21T00:00:37.472-05:00"Human Scum" indeed!

Except we call it 'urban renewal'. <br /><br />Next time you wonder why your town doesn't do more about graffiti, scandalous public art, or a building that you think is old or ugly or tacky... Think about those noble guys in the pickups, cleaning up THEIR neighborhood. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
