In light of the shooting / murder near Grove Park, I propose the 'art' from the hill be moved to Grove Park. I understand the artist's intention is for the 'art' to protest the war; but why not have it be a message against violent crime as a whole? Maybe adapt it in some way as well so people driving by who are unaware of the debate or what the intended message is supposed to be understands. For example, have one of those red circles with the diangle line across it on top of the plastic flower outline of the gun? This was at least 'some' message is getting out there. I spoke to a few people who think this would be a great compromise! Any thoughts?   SO Ref Citizen Username: So_refugee Post Number: 1821 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Saturday, May 13, 2006 - 1:06 pm:        Some message is already "getting out there" although some don't "get it". I'd rather it simply be removed than altered from the artist's original intent. Sure, move it to Grove Park and make it about the shooting instead of the war. That will surely end the debate... <sarcasm>
