Graffiti hurts?

   The law informant team in Oregon have made a program that is titles "Graffiti Hurts." What this program states is that graffiti is hurting Washington County of Oregon. They have the idea going that all graffiti is bad. They have made the distinction that gang graffiti is different from tagging. They say that this art is harming the community and the people who live there. 
    I for one think that this is hilarious because a piece of art can not harm anyone, unless it is falling on you or something of that nature. The people who are making this art simply just want to make a statement. There is something beautiful about what the art is trying to say and it needs to be separated from the work that is gang related. Quite frankly no one cares about the gangs listing names of there members and whatever nonsense they chose to throw up on a wall. That is simply NOT art.
