It is expected that this new law will end the unsolicited decoration of their subway system that has made it unique in this drab, colorless world. I predict that in a few months NYC will be demanding similar legislation throughout the country in order to stop the influx of contraband markers and spray-cans into the city. I also predict that all markers and cans will be required to have a serial number and all owners required to have a license. I finally predict that all legally licensed owners will have to keep their registered markers and spray-cans in approved government paint-lockers when they are not in actual use and account for every milligram expended. Pop- ular bumper stickers will read: "When EL-MARCOS are outlawed - only graffitiologists will have markers." "You can have my RUSTOLEUM when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." - Phil
