I have mixed feelings about the pool/fence thing. On the one hand,
unauthorized people have no business trespassing on your yard, and any
problems they get into should be on them. On the other hand, since
many laws are made to protect the irresponsible, they transferred the
responsibility to everyone else when they require you to prevent kids
from wandering into your pool. But while I disagree with the law in
principle, the amount of effort to put up a fence is not that great,
and if it saves even one life, it's probably worth it.

Then why shouldn't the irresponsible people that let their kids run loose
foot the bill for the fence, around their yard?
Why should the people with the pool have to pay for the fence?


The fence is your insurance. It protects you from liability lawsuits,
and it's required by most homeowner's insurance policies.

Maybe that's not the way it should be, but it's the way it IS.

Jesus christ, what a ****ing socialist.
I hope someone kills you.



Don't shoot me for telling you what the law says. If you don't like
it, take it up with them.
