      <![CDATA[To engage in a debate about the artistic merits of some or all graffiti is to totally ignore graffiti's one very damning premise: Graffiti is, almost exclusively, visual stuff that a person does to property that he or she does not OWN. Given this unequivocally faulty premise, there's no point in discussing artistic merit!

      <![CDATA[I agree with many of the comments below &mdash; the majority of these &ldquo;artists&rdquo; are not trying to communicate for the greater good, they are egotistical middle-class kids with inflated senses of entitlement and too much time on their hands. I am happy to see the police making a real effort to crack down on this crime, and look forward to seeing more of these kids scrubbing off their &ldquo;art&rdquo; off of our city&apos;s beautiful historic homes and buildings.

      <![CDATA[Speaking as a reformed graffiti writer, I find most graffiti banal and easily as offensive as billboards or advertising in general. Public art, publicly or privately funded, is a different vein in my opinion.

      <![CDATA[First of all, what Rick James stated - graffiti is ILLEGAL- "Every traditional and creditable definition of graffiti describes it an unauthorized or illegal rendering on a public or private space."<br>If you want to legitimize a public art form then don't call it graffiti. <br><br>Secondly, many graffiti vandals in inner city Richmond are tagging poorer historic neighborhoods- not billboards or suburban corporate campuses.
