It Is Art & A Message For Future Generations

OnSeptember 9th, 2015,I wrote a Post;History Lostwhere I said we are losing valuable information about our past by usingSocial Mediainstead of writing letters withPen & Paper.Researchers have used these written letters,throughout the ages,to get insight into some ofWorld's Most Historical Events.And I used evidence from someone who was born in 480 B.C."If Hellanicus did not write down that the Persian Queen Atossa wrote the first letter, how would we know?"
I also believe,we are destroying valuableHistory,forFuture Generations when we destroyor eraseGraffiti!The History Booksare written by theElite,to tell theElitist's Story.Who want theirGeneration Knownfor what they believe it stood for.It is not until you hear the words of theGeneral Populationwho worked in the trenches,like thePoor & Middle Class,who really built thoseGreat Societiesfor theElite,do you truly understand whatHistorically Happened.Graffiti Is Art.AnExpressionfrom theYouthof our day.I agree,some of their platforms should not have beenTagged.So we need to find areas in our landscape so they can beTag,Bomb,andPainted.So futureResearchersknow what it was like,in our time, to live in thoseTrenches,not thePenthouses.Here is an example ofGraffitiwhere you only here about theRulers,theFamous,and theRich. Sure,they are starting to find small tablets at some dig sites where theCommon Individuals andSlaveswrote letters on stone to each other.But until recently,we would have only understood the lives of theEliteinEgypt.That wasand isGraffiti.Without it,we would have known nothing of theEgyptian Empireexcept that it existed.And how about the
Tagging
on
Cave Walls,
before there were any
Elitists. They weren't complaining about defacing aCave Wall.They were tellingFuture Generationsthat;"We were here. This is what we did!"If we didn't have,what I believe was a decree on behalf ofKing Ptolemy V,to show how the threeSocietiescan work together so they can benefit from trading
Goods & Services
between each other,we would never have figured out how to readEgyptian Hieroglyphics. The Rosetta Stone.These are all examples,
if done in today's
Society,
what we would call
Graffiti.Maybe in
Antiquity,they would call it,Writing Down Information!
This is,I Believe Tagging Does Have A Place In Our History,But Don't Get Me Started On Those Who Scratch Into MirrorsAnd Especially Toilet Seats.Now That Is Not Art,Jim Hauenstein,
And,

“My students tag tables, walls, and chairs because their greatest fear is that no one will ever remember them. They do not believe they can give impassioned speeches, rally people in protest, paint masterpieces. They think they will die, small and forgotten, and it dictates their every action.” - Thomm Quackenbush -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
