No no no.  I am not getting my point across the way I wanted it to. YES graffiti is illegal, I am not condoning that anyone go out and do it and break the law, and I am not saying to throw away all our laws because of this.  I was trying to say that people do it regardless if its legal or illegal, and I was not fingering YOU personnally as a stuck up republican. That makes no sense.  I was trying to say that the way the laws that we have to abide by are screwy in the sense that a rapist can get out of jail earlier tahn someone who has been caught doing graffitis, and people LIKE republicans are to blame for that.  IN MY OWN OPINION, I like graffiti, I think regardless of the law it should be done, and it also has its place in society.  you wrote: Ah, I see. It is OK to break the law in the name of "art". I need to work on ways to justify breaking laws I suppose. You see someone breaking the law.  I see someone that is passionate in expressing themselves. Right about now, the question that usually comes up is this:  Well, WHY do they have to break the law to passionatly express themselves?  its still wrong! Well, In my opinion, graffiti is MEANT to be illegal, that is part of the thrill, the rush I guess. If it's legal, a writer can go and take all the time he or she wants to paint, and a lot of people do this.  BUT- for the writer that seeks the thrill, the writer who wants to live on the edge, a wall where you can spend a few weeks at is boring.  This writer wants to remain mysterious; he / she wants the noteriety from his / her peers and wants to keep society wondering "who in the world did that?" Whatever, who cares, let the kids paint!!!!  Your still gonna collect what they paint anyway, maybe as a "suggestion"  (cause I don't want to tell you what to do) maybe it would be wise to learn more about this part of railroad culture.  Graffiti has been around longer than anyone alive today and it isn't going away anytime soon. OH YEAH- What do you guys think of hobo monikers? They have been "vandalizing" RR property since the Civil war.
