By demanding a fence be put around the thing you do want government to do your job. How about as a parent you just tell your kid not to go near it. Thousands, heck millions of kids grew up just fine without fences around us. Enough is enough. Personally if the kids were old enough I'd tell them to go out and have fun, be respectful and don't get run over. Are we going to put fences around everything now? Roads, rail road tracks, ponds, lakes, ditches, big trees good for climbing and as Frank suggested Niagara Falls and Zoar Valley!? It gets outrageous.
I see the same thing going on in Clarence. All these people move into these subdivisions and whine. They want more parks, they want little league, they want pretty flowers, they want Astro Turf, they want this, they want that. Its like a hundred little Alan Bedenkos walking around thinking money comes from tree's. The people that end up footing the bill for all this crap are the people that have been in the town for generations and don't even use the stuff. It sucks
