it strikes me as ridiculous to have an expectation that something painted on a walking or driving path is going to stay in good condition. At one time it was considered disrespectful to the cause itself to demonstrate flags in inappropriate places [0] Meanwhile as a US taxpayer I am left to wonder why these folks are being bothered legally when every other shithead in a duallie 800hp/1200ft'lbs torque behemoth truck can burnout at every single red light and flick chunks of pavement away from the (now pot-hole-covered) road that I helped pay for.
