"This LICK NUTS guy likes to scratch bus shelter glass
which makes mass transit more expensive because of
repaired/replaced glass.

I recently removed Gangster Disciples graffiti and
that "F" word from several locations in Seward. Either
one could be defended and placed in a gallery as art.

Thanks,
Scott Vreeland   Seward"

I am not defending Gangster Disciples graffiti, but I
am defending the OBEY signs.  It is a subtle
distinction I admit, but one that needs to be made. 
It is easy to make blanket negative statements, but it
is more difficult, and more important, to stand up for
the power of art to transform.

I think Mr. Vreeland is stretching the argument to
make a point.  We are all against willful destruction
of private property, but fortunately life is not so
black and white.  Art is the expression of those gray
areas in life that need to be thought about and
discussed.
