"I would just like to say that i know some ... people that decide to 'scrawl' on buildings. ... these are the people that WILL change our economy for the better."

If your voice mainly comes from defacing other people's property, I oppose your changing the economy for what YOU consider "the better". The idea that a loud unpleasant noise is worth listening to because it's -your- loud unpleasant noise, is absurd.

This is the reason there was a property qualification for voting in the US at the time of the Revolution. Jacksonian policies IIRC are the ones that gave us universal suffrage. I like the idea that you're a -stakeholder- before you get to vote. That way, you respect the stakes of others, and don't just vote for a living when you're not making a mess.
