Greed Over People: More RNC graffiti

Greed Over People: More RNC graffiti

by Paul Schmelzer, Minnesota Independent
KSTP-TV follows up Chris Steller’s post about anti-RNC graffiti on Minneapolis’ iconic Grain Belt Beer sign with a Thursday segment on what they expect will be a mounting problem. Like the first, a new graffito has highlighted letters G, O and P, only this message reads: “Greed Over People.” It appears near the Hiawatha Avenue footbridge, while another version of the Grain Belt tag, which read “Get Out Phascists,” has apparently appeared elsewhere in the Twin Cities. KSTP puts clean-up costs for the piece shown above at around $3,000.

First big RNC graffito

First big RNC graffito

What may be the first large-scale graffito against the Republican National Convention appeared within the last few days on the back side of the landmark Grain Belt beercap sign in Minneapolis.

The slogan, which faces traffic entering downtown Minneapolis on the Hennepin Avenue bridge, reads “Get Out Phascists,” with the initial letters G.O.P. highlighted in red, white and blue.

Advise and Dissent: Sparkle Jones

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing. This opinion came from Your Turn — Teens advise the next president on what youth need.

Abortion: I believe taking away a woman’s right to abortion is taking away her freedom. There are diverse reasons why abortion is the best option. There may be rape; few people want a reminder of a traumatic event. There may also be financial issues; many women just can’t afford children. Additionally, women with weak emotional states frequently turn to alcohol and drugs and this dependency leads to abuse and/or neglect of her kids … If a woman makes this call, or wants the option to make this call, why do people pass judgment? Hard decisions are based on beliefs and if you make a decision based on what you believe, then everyone should both accept and respect your decision. — Sparkle Jones, 17, Humboldt High School MORE »

THEATER | "White Sheep of the Family," a sharp farce at Theatre in the Round
