Perhaps graffiti art means without permission. I for one am all in
favor of
protest and I have taken part in forms of civil disobedience, but always
for a cause that I thought was worth the possible risk. Arrest and
jail time
for a decent cause is a choice worth making. But painting a wall in
the dark
of night for the thrill of it, is akin to dumping out houses on
halloween.
