Glenn Beck was talking on his show about his first ride on a jet launched off an aircraft carrier. He knew there'd be no beverage service on a military jet so he brought a can of Coke aboard and put it between his legs for takeoff. He was sitting facing the rear of the plane; other (military)passengers were sitting facing him. He had no idea (though he should have) of the forces that were involved in takeoff from a carrier, and was surprised to find after he recovered from takeoff that the coke was missing. Just gone. He had no idea where it had gone, and tried to pretend nothing had happened. His fellow passengers knew, however, and were highly irate--"You could have killed somebody!!! What were you thinking!!!" They retrieved the can of coke where it had completely flattened into some crevice in the plane. It's like he shot a missile at their heads. SPOOOSH! Nobody thought to warn him not to take anything unsecured onto this plane, and I guess he never took physics in HS or college!

Some people need warning signs for EVERYTHING! Kids, especially, don't have the experience yet to appreciate subtle dangers...they need the signs, AND a check to make sure they understood that "this" meant them.

Which is neither practical nor possible. So, what if you put signs up for everything that could possibly go wrong at an amusement park? No earrings on rough rides, throwing up because a kid ate before the spinning teacups, dumping beverages on people below from skycars, no screaming "Help!" on any ride, etc. Not only would the experience of the park be somewhat lessened because of all the clutter and Big Brother atmosphere (and the higher ticket prices we'd have to endure), but you'd never possibly think up all the scenarios.

And if you DID somehow manage to think up every scenario, you'd then have to translate each sign into every language of every tourist that may someday "enjoy" your gulag park. :-)
