			<title>What about LFP graffiti?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I wish this was our biggest worry. PCs and their loyal Sun Media stooges are printing worse graffiti on Sun Media pages. I'm more concerned with Sun Media using its editorial spaces to be the surrogate for Hudak's PC party and accuse Liberals of choosing a casino vs the far better slots. Gambling is gambling. It's equally corrupting. But if I had my druthers, a casino MIGHT benefit more people that the horse abusers and drug dealers on race tracks who are likely PC party donors-supporte rs. Just when I think Liberals have found the lowest fall-back level, Hudak's PCs and their mouthpiece, Sun Media, chime up to show why even Libs are better than Hudak PCs. The SPCA originated way back because of torture of horses. Only now, they hide it better. LFP editors don't give a damn about London's economy as long as Sun Media's bosses, the PC, can get their party contributors.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Come on London. There are bigger fish to fry. Okay, graffiti is vandalism... but some if it is pretty nice looking vandalism. Either way, let's move on. Let's tackle some important issues rather than trying to arrest misguided teens who have markers. I would be happy to turn a blind eye to vandalized public bathrooms if say, there was real recycling pick up down town, which there is not. Or how about they ban advertising and billboards downtown. They're polluting my visual space far more than any graffiti does.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If permission is secured from the property owner...what's the problem? Providing facilities, such as a blank wall, for those doing graffiti helps sort the wheat from the chaff in terms of those bent on tagging Vs those bent on improving whatever artistic skills they have. If you don't employ or encourage youth to employ themselves in productive capacity...they 'll employ themselves in activities you won't like. Congrats to Ms.Armistead... I wish her much success with the initiative.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you look closely at our urban graffiti, you will see that roughly 99% of it is just plain old vandalistic garbage. However, we do have a couple of examples of what I would call "street art", that technically under the law would be graffiti, but are, IMO, stunning examples of artwork. For what it is worth, I have noticed that these few examples of "street art" - which I could count on one hand - have been left alone both by private property owners and other taggers, in some cases for a few years now. So the bottom line is, at least to me, if you really are a "street artist" and not a tagger or a vandal, your work will show it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Art v. graffiti? One approach is quite simple to follow and to enforce -- simply that any work on property other than one's own is considered graffiti and is dealt with as vandalism. Frankly, I'm tired of painting over tags on our property and dismayed with all the tagging that has taken place on a newly constructed bridge we look out on from our home. Fontana is correct on this issue, and its not due to his age.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gee I almost got a tear in my eye thinking of the "graffiti artists who have done a mountain of damage to the Ed Blake playground and spray pad change rooms. They are less than a year old. I must be too much of a cretin to understand their artistic intent. Will they be on hand when the bill comes in to clean the $1.25 million facilities?]]></description>
