When people are silenced and constantly threatened, they start to speak out:
Drivers entering downtown Cincinnati from the I-71 tunnel, and some other places around town, may have noticed an unusually cryptic piece of graffiti: “Habeas Corpus R.I.P 1215-2006.”
The words appear to be a protest against the Bush administration based in part on a Molly Ivins column that was published last month and has been circulating on the Internet. The graffiti matches the headline of Ivins’ column.
Sometimes graffiti is so much more than a simple act of vandalism. This particular act, dare I say it, is the American spirit struggling to survive.
