“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
Yesterday afternoon, I was getting on the freeway, headed west on the Madison on-ramp downtown in the M-change. Too my surprise, as I glanced on the wall, on the freeway, I was greeted with a huge, unwelcome display of graffiti: HUGE black letters on a pretty long stretch of the wall.My first thought was: How the heck could someone spray that much crap on a wall, on a major on-ramp, without being noticed? OK, wait, I don’t even want to speculate how they did it but I would love to know why! I can formulate all sorts of theories: it was a double dog dare or it was a fraternity initiation or someone was just bored. But it really boils down to one thing though: sheer stupidity!
As I continued my drive, I noted several other walls and businesses were “tagged” with graffiti, obviously by the same idiot. The word tagged is PC for “I spray painted on property that doesn’t belong to me in the name of art”.
Well, who knows.
I do know that if the person (or persons) responsible for the graffiti were hit by a car you can bet that their family members would decide that it’s the cities fault for allowing it to happen. I mean, my son or daughter shouldn’t be held responsible for doing something they like to do, right? They’re needs to be more outlets for them to release they’re creativity. Oh please!
I hope they catch the perps, require them to do hours of community service, including cleaning up the mess they made. But even if that happens, the unfortunate truth is there’s always another dumb-dumb waiting in the wings, to take over where the last one left off.
Sigh.
