At the risk of sounding like somebody who thinks he is a "saint", (or a dork) I have to tell you that I have never vandalized anything, ever, and as
far as I know none of my friends, or kids, ever did either. This is a common belief of many, "that everybody does it", but it simply is not
true-----it is an urban myth. Most folks don't vandalize, period, Thank God!!!

Political ads
Seems like I used to see 'PRI' painted on every rock along the highway; do they still do it? Is it graffiti when the politicians do it?

Barry A...
you sound like a saint...or maybe or you were never a bored suburbanite or maybe your folks put the fear of god into you.
But please don't think I'm saying, "Everyone does it therefore it's okay." Certainly the cops don't - and shouldn't - react that way. I'm just
saying it's pretty common and probably inevitable for A LOT of precocious kids - like smoking weed, playing their car stereos too loud and bad
haircuts.
Having grown up (some) my current graffiti practice is "wash me" and "I'm a kook" in the dust on friends' cars. :-)

Defenders of Destruction
The defense by many here of the disgusting and destructive habit of Graffiti as well as other acts performed by "precocious" children and others who
have yet to grow up, simply confirms what I've noticed about many Touristas who visit over the years. For some reason, there are people who do not
feel they're having a good time unless they are offending someone else. Their drunken loutish behaviour, their playing obscene ghetto Rap at
intolerable levels, their indiscriminate use of offensive fireworks, their roaring through the camp ground at dangerous speeds, their scribbling
defacing of public and private property. These are all symptoms of the same lack of character that defines a whole group of total jerks.

And there are many more "jerk" categories. I blame humans.

Totally...
humans suck. They should be banished from Baja and elsewhere.
I'd be lying to say I didn't do some dumb things in Baja - when I was like, 15. But you grow up and learn better. Now I try my best to treat the
place like a holy land and hope other visitors do the same.
But if you can't forgive the sins of a teenager, you certainly shouldn't have one and probably never were one.

It was fun and it was easier to get away with. No zero tolerance. What the hell's wrong with the kids today?
JR, still awaiting reply. Just like everyone else. I'll go after a couple more, Someone WILL listen.
