Don't you want to be closer to your "neighbors?"

Cute, but silly. The walls of my house are for shelter from the elements, not to wall people out. And I have no walls around my property : (sadly ... I've got my ex-wife up the road, and her redneck Kentucky homegrown backwoods hillbilly boyfriend has been known to go out in the backwoods behind my house shooting off his guns - for show of threat. I shoot back ... just to let him know, and to hopefully keep any possibility of serious confrontation at bay.)

It dawns on me, walls are handy for wars, and of prevention/fear of them. I've noticed that republicans have a fancy for wars ... even lying us into them. Are we declaring war on Mexico?

And unless I'm going out of town, I don't lock my doors. Nor even, ever take the key out of my pickup.

My neighbors are welcome. I do unsolicited favors for them. I even welcome the JW's. I haven't even walled them off.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. Walls can be very good at times, and necessary.

Just not for Mexico. I haven't met a Mexican I haven't liked ; those Catholics are good people. You know that bro Ohio.

Oh, that's funny!

You don't need locks on your doors.

You got a double barrel shotgun instead.

And the whole neighborhood knows.

Couple shots a night to remind them.

ZNP, would that plan work in your neck of the woods?

The best security system is a dog. I have had one four over my time here in Queens. All of them are 50 lbs or more. If you have a dog you are required by law to have a 6 foot fence surrounding your home. However, I had one dog that was incredibly athletic. This dog could leap, put a paw or two into the fence and be over it in less than ten seconds. She infuriated me.

Never heard of such a fence law for dogs, but my wife wants a fence to also keep out the deer.

Our new puppy scares no one. She gets so excited when visitors stop over, that she jumps up and "leaks" on their feet. So funny.

Nah, every once in awhile I'll put one in the air in the middle of the night, to shut the dogs up that bark all night. It works just long enough to get back to sleep.

And I haven't shot and killed anybody, so far. Tho I certainly have dreamed about it ; mostly back when my friend and wife betrayed me. I'm over that now.

But get this : I've got a crazy hillbilly up the road, that has threaten to "take me out" a half dozen times, and I still don't have a wall.

Reagan, "Tear down this wall!". Trump, "Build this wall."

Bad comparison. Did you just get that off of CNN?

German wall was inside one country built by a foreign country.

Trump's wall protects his borders from criminal crossings.

But you knew that. And please don't shoot the dogs.
