"Junk" is a term that each person defines differently...as evidenced by some of the "art" that sprouts in front of public buildings these days. To many people it appears more like overflow from the local scrap yard. Then you have things like "car henge" and Ocean City is even thinking about a "boat henge" on the beach. Are these endeavors "art" or just junked vehicles/boats standing on end?

I have heard one definition of art that seems to apply universally..."If the check clears...it's art!"

In a post about trash and debris Bill Rakow mentioned an old toilet sitting in a front yard...now imagine that toilet lovingly positioned in the garden with petunias growing out of it. Junk or lawn ornament?

It usually boils down to personal taste...and although some people might fall into the "poor" category...in this politically correct world we are told that we should respect their choices.
