Grafitti COULD be art!

I just don't understand. Some kids spend a lot of their time spray painting symbols, letters, etc. on public and private property, hoping to catch someone's attention or send out a secret message that could only be decoded after gym class. Some of these jobs are quite beautiful to gaze upon. It gives me pause to wonder a few things:

First, why couldn't they put that talent instead toward a mural, painting, drawing on anything else BUT private/public property? Is the thought of doing something legal that scary to them?

Second, WHERE are their PARENTS? Do they really have any clue as to what their child/children is/are up to?

Lastly, WHERE are the POLICE?? They're always laying in wait when I'm late and want to speed (just a little) to get there; how come they're never around when the tagging starts?

Thoughts to chew on...
