How many times do you have to be told? Shouldn't once be enough?
Do you believe that most warning signs have been put in place to annoy you or simply to deter civil litigation? Most warning signs serve the purpose of saving you from potential harm. But signs are only as effective as the individuals reading them.
You are always alert and aware.
How else are you being warned?
If your partner is drinking too much, if you son is only smoking a few joints, if your severe migraines are becoming more frequent, these are warning signs. Ignore them at your peril.
Are you sure that gun isn't loaded?
If you are reading this, thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, thank a soldier.
