Leave Nature Alone

I've noticed this in visiting national parks in the last few years: Taggers are spraying graffiti on rocks in places like Joshua Tree National Park, and this has even the people who call graffiti art in the city complaining. It's art if you mar someone else's property but not if it's in a park? What they don't mention in the article is how some of the graffiti is on petroglyphs; I've heard people excuse it by saying, well, graffiti is the modern day petroglyph. No, it isn't -- petroglyphs are examples of the only way the people there could record stuff. Tagging isn't that. (Los Angeles Times)
