Oh dearest Kat,
My sister is an art teacher, I visited her degree show many years ago, one
exibit was a box, clear plastic with a hole and a fan attached to the hole,
there were also some holes to let the air out, inside the box were locusts,
cockroaches and all sorts of insects being blown about.
Now thats ART.

Well, I bow to your superior knowledge gleaned at your sister's degree
show... what do I know, I'm just a humble station assistant.


Now thats Art, graffiti could be art but only in the right environment, if
we were in a communist state and our only form of expression against the
state was writing on a wall, then that is a valid expression of our feeling
as all other avenues are closed off, but we live in a country were in
general free speech is allowed, so the writing of political expression isn't
needed, the writing of TOX 01, 02, 03 ,04 is just criminal damage, these
scumbags ruin our environment, make people feel threatened especally
travelling at night, and need to be caught & punished.

I do know, however, that a bit of spray paint on a passing train doesn't
make me feel threatened, not even late at night when I'm on the platform
with a load of drunks who've missed the last train. But then, I'm not
easily scared; not even by a bunch of creepy-crawlies blowing around in
a perspex box.
