Where Has All The Creativity Gone?

I am not a fan of graffiti, few people are. But I do occasionally notice that a lot of work goes into it, however misguided the effort may be. You have to admit that someone must be pretty artistically talented to make some of the stuff I have seen on various walls, freeway overpasses and train cars in LA and Long Beach. Growing up in these areas, even though graffiti very seldom came anywhere near my particular neighborhood, I was exposed to it more than the average American, and I consider myself something of a connoisseur. (The 110 North freeway through downtown LA is some of my favorite.) Which brings me to my point: The "graffiti" on the UCSD campus is sickening. THEY USE STENCILS!!! Has anyone else seen this? This is an insult to the artform of graffiti. Are we such huge nerds on the UCSD campus that in order to deface something, we can't even come up with something creative to deface it with? Do we really need ready-made stencils to help us? If you are going to permanetly destroy a piece of property, shouldn't it mean something to you? Shouldn't it take some time and energy? Everywhere I look, from "Chancellor Dynes Posse" to the pig with the "PO" underneath (does anyone know what that means?), I want to scream, "You idiots! If real gangsters saw the shit you STENCIL onto walls, they'd kick your ass so fast you wouldn't know what hit you!" I am not condoning graffiti in anyway, but come on people, let's put some work into our vandalism.
