>The Planter Boxes Outside Annesley College By The Tram Stop

>I apologise in advance to XX, who is, no doubt, trying his darndest to
>escape the place for a few days yet....
>but on to the matter at hand - the planter boxes.

>At first, on my daily trips past in the tram these were nothing more than
>grey mundane concrete rings, in which was set a plant...an urban planning
>nightmare, unless you happen to have shares in CSR, or Hardies Building
>Supplies.

>But later I noticed some people were 'doing things' to these planters.
>"How cute," thinks I," they're attempting to brighten up the planters with
>some community art".

>Which indeed they were, whats more it was a group of aboriginals and
>aryans doing aboriginal dot painting art, just to get the right amount of
>'grass roots culture' into the whole thing, a couple of quotes or phrases
>were also painted on there..just the right thing to inspire the young
>minds who must every day pass through that tram stop twice.

>Fine until I actually try and read these quotes, and realise that they
>have been attributed to someone, a one L.Ron Hubbard. (If you don't know
>who this is then tough, go and find out the hard way - stand on Waymouth
>St/King William Street corner for a bit.)

>Now, what I want to know is does anyone else find this slightly disturbing,
>1 - That these quotes were mixed with Aboriginal Art
>2 - Was this a council sponsored thing or was this the $ church's own initative
>3 - That these are next to a school....

>Leave you to ponder,
