Searching Eyes Recording Knowledge
I saw a Greenpeace bumper sticker the other day that said 'Everyone lives downstream'. It couldn't have said it better to this type of shit. One person talking to the mainstream press or authorities about graff is gonna fuck up a few other people's game as a result:
I see you didn't mention anywhere in your reply about what you said in the article about hitting the lines cause they are the spots not getting buffed. Then taking people to the spots, which of course pissed off Amtrak police. You bringing any attention to that is stupid. They've been quiet for the last couple years after they buffed out the northeast corridor. There have been a few writers in particular who have taken to the lines like monsters and now you've put it all in the spotlight. And oddly enough, Amtrak has started buffing the line again.
All you've accomplished is adding graffiti to some other fucked up situation. Getting shit plastered on the front page of the WSJ and being used, as you obviously missed, could have larger ramifications down the road. What if DC does ban trains through the tunnel? What's to stop a city like Baltimore or any other town to ban certain trains from travelling their tunnels or coming into their city. It'll reroute tons of freight traffic all over the place and make it harder for people that do live in the city to paint certain trains. Obviously you don't give a fuck cause you don't paint them, but there are some of us that do. Trying to step out of place in line to grab some cheap fame is weak. Pay your fucking dues.
You wanna pull my 'internet geek' card and say some shit, let me know, cause I'll crush you in graff. You can have your little toybox tunnel, I painted there when it was worth painting, well before you. And I'm uninformed? Believe me dude, I got every right to say some shit to you, cause I was asked to contribute to the article because they wanted someone with real rep that knew about trains and yards, after they talked to you. I had the right mind to keep my mouth shut. Get over yourself, you were better off letting this shit die off quietly and hope people would forget about it.
