Hating Wall, Public

In every major city (hell, in every minor city and village) there should be a Public Hating Wall. This would simply be a very large, solidly-constructed wall about one story high, made of concrete or cinder blocks, or the equivalent. It shouldn't be too tall, because of the potential for spontaneous collapse, but it could be long, in proportion to the surrounding population. The idea behind the Public Hating Wall is that anyone who wanted could come and take their frustrations out on the wall, rather than on another person. You could write anything on it you wanted, with spray paint, for instance; you could bash it with a sledgehammer; you could even, if you wanted, drive your car straight into it. You could get together with your friends, say after a tragic sporting event, and gang up on the wall. This would all be perfectly legal--provided you kept your activities confined solely to the wall. Of course, it's better to get your frustrations out on an inanimate object than on another person. Perhaps there would be fewer riots and public disturbances if there were a handy and PUBLIC outlet for all that rage. Perhaps there would be fewer instances of domestic abuse and road rage. Anything is legal--provided you do it to THE WALL. For the conservatives, you could even justify making ordinary punishments that much more Draconian, since you've provided society with an acceptable place to put its hatred. When the wall has sustained so much abuse that it's in danger of collapse, just tear it down and build a newer, thicker one. Just think of it as your own little Berlin Wall, and treat it as you would your worst enemy. . . .
