consider someone who was raised in the jungle. they see their first stop sign and dont' know what it means. someone jokes that it is symbolic of the world's fascination with death (the ultimate stop). if the jungloid believes that it's a symbol, what makes it not a symbol?
if it's about the intention of the creator or legislator, or even the majority, then where does that leave certain kinds pop-art? is it a sign because we are told it's a sign? to some the Bible is a symbol if how to live ones life, to others it's a sign pointing to actual points in history. which is it?
