Sign of the Times

Further demonstrating how parts of our society are in moral decay, today I passed a road sign that said "No Littering". Huh? Like, er if I drive a mile down the road will a sign say "Littering Allowed"?

I understand that the area where the no littering sign was probably suffered from an exorbitant amount of littering in the past, but the mere fact that such a sign exists brings several thoughts to mind:

1. If rules are not specifically spelled out and defined, does our government expect poor behavior will occur?
2. My taxes are used to pick up garbage that other people throw out onto the streets.
3. My taxes are used to produce, install and maintain signs to tell people not to do things that they should not do wether there is a sign or not.
4. I wonder how many people drive down the road and say 'oh time to throw my trash out the window' and then just in time see the sign and think, 'oh, I'm not supposed to throw my trash onto the streets...here.
5. If I drive along a road without a no littering sign, is it proper to litter there?
6. Are simply ANY activities (illegal, immoral) allowed if there is no sign posted stating otherwise?
