GRAFFITI MISSISSAUGA: WARNING! HIGHLY OFFENSIVE MATERIAL (but not as offensive as the politicians)

Received an email (2010/05/20 am) from a graffiti artist. Here's what he had to say:

"the system is CORRUPT and this is why there is youth violence this is why there are guns on the street and drugs in the hands of children the youth are fighting with the system because it is CORRUPT there is no way to fix it because the people higher up are sitting nice in their big leather chairs, driving their nice cars, living their perfect life when some people in this world have to work hard to get by and even by doing so they get nothing, and after they realize how hard they have to work to get by they break down and no longer want to live life being part of the system because they realize that living life by the rules of the system gets you no where because it is CORRUPT!"

I wanted this youth to be heard so have copied it here.

I'm not trying to troll your vids...I actually enjoy watching some of them.....but in all honesty, its impossible to create a system that works when we don't even fully understand how we or the ground below us works.

@GENERAL1002

You wrote, "when we don't even fully understand how we or the ground below us works" and on that we agree.

Terrific song, huh. It's called "Matrix Shit" by Caspian & Grafhic. It's on YouTube and I can't give you the whole URL (YouTube won't let me).

But you can cut-and-paste this. watch?v=ogbdyzGhNk4

lol I've known some street artists and graffiti is an extant of hip hop, can't say I personally know or have any specific connection with 'taggers' but boy this gets pretty lofty.

Hi there. Yes, I know that taggers'graffiti is extremely hard to catch. What kills me is that people get their shorts all in a knot about taggers and yet try finding a utility pole at an intersection that doesn't have at least tree stuck-on signs for duct cleaning or carpet steaming. Those signs are just as unauthorized as taggers.

It really seems that if taggers were to get 500 of their tags run off at a print shop and then they stick it to poles like businesses do, THAT'D be okay?

lolol. as you know graffiti is very hard to convict. good luck...
