The sign bespeaks intent. It is an agent that produces the Uzi. An Uzi in a glass display case is not an immediate threat, an Uzi in the hand is. We are not chickens and can distinguish, in most cases, the real Uzi as a sign of threatening *intent* from a picture that does not signify a threat." As silly as it might sound I would ask which has more immediate power -- the gun, which we can *know* ,or the intent, which we cannot. It is the power of the symbol, object, projection, word, act, event Etc. that establishes the authority. Saicho
