Every once in a while something comes along that I cannot help but comment on, and this complaint is not just for my wife to hear. The complaint is with people who would damage public facilities like the pools and the rest of the parks for some cheap thrill. These people probably believe they are only hurting the city when they do things like spray paint the walls at the pools, or burn a bathroom. The truth is they are stealing pleasure from everyone else in the city. I also think they are probably the same ones who would gripe if there were no parks for them to enjoy. It is true that an animal given a choice will not defile its own territory, but these low brows apparently do not have that much brain power. If there is someone out there who knows someone who has damaged something the rest of us hold dear they should remember that those kind of people do not deserve their loyalty. Call the police at 826-8100 or the TIPS Hotline at 827-TIPS. There is no dishonor in making someone face up to something they have done that affects so many.
