<<Why the problem with grafitti? Its a wonderful political and social tool.
Don't know much about its artistic credentials.
Kathryn

A nice, old-fashioned sentiment that I haven't heard since Norman Mailer
wrote The Faith of Graffiti in the 60's. Soon it was everywhere, defacing
some wonderful architecture, and leading to a crisis of urban angst the like
of which we've never seen before (since graffiti has been removed from New
York City subways, ridership has increased more than 30%). It's a real
downer! I suspect you haven't lived with it as much as some other urban
dwellers have --                     Jay Fahey
