The Mayor should understand that the little bastards' brains are concocting the idea of spray painting stuff on public property: the thumbs are just helping to carry out the plan. We need to get to the root cause of the problem. To this end, it would make a lot more sense to advocate lobotomy procedures or, better yet, decapitation. Then again, there would be a great irony in drowning them in a huge vat of spray paint. It would make for good theater, too...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
