<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Hello all</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I’ve read through all 3 pages of this and I would just like to say a couple of things:</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> 1)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN>I am absolutely amazed at how complex this all is. I had no idea there was that much to graffiti. I always thought it was either just a bunch of misfit kids with no other outlet, or was gang related. Thanks Buddy for quite a bit of history.</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in">2)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN>What the hell are you all so angry about? Look, I think UKGUY summed it up with: “<SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-size: 7.5pt">yes I know its illegal, just like copying a friends CD, photocopying a published artical and driving above the speed limit and a host of other things... (and dont forget it has already been posted that there are no degrees of 'illegal' , its still breaking the law)........something about no sin and the first stone springs to mind...”</SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in">3)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN>I don’t want anyone planting pansies on my front lawn, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to see them on the side of the road. If the RR’s were really concerned about this kind of “vandalism” they would be doing something about it. You can’t tell me that there aren’t “hot” areas or locations, or certain yards where this happens more often than elsewhere. There could be an elaborate sting operation set up with RR workers armed with spray cans... I'm getting carried away. The bottom line is if the RR’s aren’t up in arms about it why should you guys be?</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in">4)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN>No, I’m not buying my kids spray paint. (And I live on Long Island, where you can’t buy spray paint if you’re under 18.) But then I’m not buying them guns or knives either. Look, it’s in the upbringing and parental involvement. I doubt that any of us would like to be bailing our kids or friends out of jail for spray painting RR cars, but (in NY at least) I can think of a lot worse mischief for people to be getting into, and much more serious crimes. You guys really need to agree to disagree and let it go.</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Just my nickels worth, Charlie</P>
