Art As A Deterrent

There are those who think that public executions will serve as a deterrent to future crimes.

This is the subway station at Porter Square in Cambridge. If you loose your gloves, they will bronze them and weld them to the escalator siding.

This is a strong warning to future glove users to hold on tightly to their mittens. Or they could suffer the same shame.

This wouldn't deter me, in fact I now want to go leave them gloves just so I can seem them bronzed.

For the record I don't belive in public executions. A few public floggings would go a long...

I have to say that I'm with Vickie on this one.

I think I'm going to find the ugliest glove possible and leave it somewhere on the train platform in hopes of it getting bronzed.
