If my kid got zapped by an electric fence?

Who gives a crap.?

 

We got guns, drugs, crime, wife-beaters, huge unemployment, global warming, Taliban, North Korea, etc.,  and I'm supposed to care if Timmy pooped his knickers from a harmless fence wire?

No way.

 

You Mass people (myself included) are right; It's socially unacceptable to have an electric fence in a suburban neighborhood THESE DAYS. In the 60's, if I got shocked off a fence, my mother would have scolded me for tresspassing; not called the fence owner and bitched him out. Mom's punishment made the fence zap look like a joke!

 

Sorry for Venting.
