When I see rabbit tracks or pellets I know a rabbit has passed this way.
When I see deer tracks or deer poop, I know a deer has been here. By the type of poop left behind I know what the deer has been eating.
In the same way, when I see "laws" and "government" I know stupid and/or unethical people have been here. It's their "sign", as surely as tracks or poop, or their litter on the ground.
