well, I guess I was a grumpy young man. When I was a freshman in college, I had friends who 'tagged' or did graffiti art on some of the buildings on campus; pissed me off big time.

This I agree with 100% because much of it is amazing. Establish a medium for the artists to do their work.

That said, many of these artists prefer to deface people's private property; almost a rebellious type thing. Those individuals should be prosecuted without vengeance in my opinion.

Anyone remember the "Steal Your Face" painted on the rock band next to the NYS thruway near exit 17?
