A short while back the solons of NYC passed an ordinance outlawing the sale
of felt-tipped markers and spray-can paint to those under eighteen years of
age.  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."
