The Irrelevant Warning

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Ever see someone ignore a warning sign, like "No Smoking", or "No Trespassing"? It's quite common, more than I thought. And it seems these warnings are becoming more and more irrelevant.
Why? Because the person abusing the warning has no concern about being punished. To quote Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, "What are you going to do, arrest me for smoking?".
I'm all for having the punishment fit the crime. And I'm also all for enforcing the warning signs. If a sign or any other warning is just an idle threat, no one will follow the warning.
In order to have a warning carry some clout, it must be enforced. All it takes is one enforcement to one person. Once the word gets around, the number of infractions should be much lower.
Make your warnings relevant, or don't make them at all.

Regards,
Irrelevant
