Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall -- it's wet.

What is the difference between graffiti and vandalism? What is the difference between art and defacement? The eye of the beholder, I guess.
Unless the vandalism is pouring concrete mix down a toilet or pouring bleach on brand new carpet. Then it's probably not art.
