Boneheads on the loose at Cobb Estate

Janette Williams of PSN writes in this morning's paper that six Audobon Society interpretive signs, installed 18 months ago on the Cobb Estate at a cost of $11,000, have instead become magnets for vandalism -- excuse us, canvases for graffiti art.  Now, as someone once cautioned us, "there is actually a history to the role that graffiti art plays in our culture, and that in some quarters it IS considered art" -- apparently people are upset, anyway.  Michele Zack makes a good point in the story that the signs probably weren't well-thought-out, anyway -- a sad but true commentary on the state of things.
