San Francisco is undeniably beautiful and living here is very pleasant, but San Francisco is populated by crazy people. You may think I am speaking of some of the homeless (who are undeniably crazy), but in this case, you would be wrong. The politicians in San Francisco are just as crazy as the homeless.
One of the characteristics of abnormal mental functioning is an inability to mature. Some crazies never grow up. The almost-mayor (he lost to Newsom) and President of the Board of Supervisors Matt Gonzales, fits this description to a T. President Gonzales has turned his office into an art gallery and is displaying the "graffiti art of Barry McGee." Click here to see for yourself: Gonzales Honors Artist.
Perfect, I say. It's Graffiti. It's Profane. It's behaving just like a poorly socialized immature high school student. My favorite part of the Chronicle article cited above is this:
Gonzalez's private office is part of a public building, and anyone can enter to see the artwork, and he invites them to come. However, the Board of Supervisors president wouldn't allow a Chronicle photographer to take a photo of his walls, citing his concern the newspaper would sensationalize the graffiti angle and not give proper respect to the artist.
Well, yes pictures might sensationalize the graffiti angle. They might show how Gonzales views the world. They might cause a few of us to once again ponder how it was possible that the choice for Mayor in the last election was between Newsom and Gonzales.
In San Francisco, Gavin Newsom and Willie Brown are regarded as reactionary conservatives. And that is a fact.
