a campaign featuring smokey and the slogan "smokey says – care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires" began in 1944. his later slogan, "remember... only you can prevent forest fires" was created in 1947 and was associated with smokey bear for more than five decades. in april 2001, the message was officially updated to "only you can prevent wildfires" in response to a massive outbreak of wildfires in natural areas other than forests (such as grasslands), and to clarify that smokey was promoting the prevention of unplanned outdoor fires, not prescribed burns. smokey has also had other lines throughout the years, but these have remained his central slogans. according to the ad council, 80% of outdoor recreationists correctly identified smokey bear's image and 8 in 10 recognized the campaign psas.

when can we talk about a "house" or a "mansion" or a "shed"? the same can be said about verbs, in all the world languages: when should we stop saying "walk" and start saying "run"? the same happens, of course, with adjectives: when must we stop saying "yellow" and start saying "orange", or stop defining as "black" and start saying "white", or "rich" and "poor", "entrepreneur" and "worker", "civilized" and "primitive", "man" and "animal", "beast" and "sovereign", "christian" and "pagan", or "beautiful" and start saying "ugly", or "bad" and start saying "good", or "truth" and start saying "false", "determined" and "free"? or "in" and "out", "here" and "there", "now" and "then", "past" and "present" and "future" and "eternal"? not only are the topological differences between the words relevant here, but the differentials between what is signified is also covered by différance. deferral also comes into play, as the words that occur following "house" or "white" in any expression will revise the meaning of that word, sometimes dramatically so. this is true not only with syntagmatic succession in relation with paradigmatic simultaneity, but also, in a broader sense, between diachronic succession in history related with synchronic simultaneity inside a "system of distinct signs".
