Dostoevsky said the "degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons," but perhaps future historians will judge us instead by our graffiti, or at least the graff that escapes buffing. The headline of a recent article in Science Daily proclaimed: "Ancient 'graffiti' unlocks the life of the common man," referring to 2,000 year-old graffiti in Israel as a sociological treasure trove equivalent to the "tweets of antiquity."
It must infuriate anti-graff zealots like the good folks in Corpus Christi to imagine that history might someday judge them by the scrawls they buff, cover and prosecute with Sisyphian doggedness.
