Aug 14/09 - Somewhere along the line, someone insinuated that graffiti was simply vandalism, the sign of a declining, violent neighborhood, and many people mistook it for the truth. We too often succumb to the urge to simplify the world along distinctly black and white lines. But that's idiotic. It's neither fair nor wise to make quick assumptions about a topic and drop it. Your gray matter can handle the grayscale, and all of the beautifully complex colors in the spectrum, too.
