People with no boundaries think they can beat on my door anytime.
I live in a little town full of angry rednecks, on the old main street which is a two lane blacktop.
My house is extremely old, 1880s, probably the oldest house in town that is still lived in. It's also closer to the street than any other house on the street. The right-of-way goes up to my porch, in fact.
Hubby and I got tired of panhandlers coming up wanting to borrow beer and cig money, and promising to come back the next day and work. That was a joke. They say they need money but aren't organized enough to show up on the day they say they will.
Or people who wanted to waste my time looking at my old cars. They had no intention of buying them. They wanted me to give them away, because the economy is dead here and there is nobody with money. It's 20 miles to the nearest Wallyworld.
Finally we put up a fence, brick pillars with metal sections between them, with an electric gate. The trashy people don't like it. The respectable people have told us how nice it looks. People here have no sense of boundaries and this was the only way to keep them out. A couple of people have climbed on the fence -- one on the wooden board fence and one on the concrete porch where the metal bars go up on the porch -- to try to climb over it. I don't like that.
In the meantime we have no interest in high school football, basketball or Christianity, so we have no social outlets. There is intelligent life here but I have not been able to find it. I live here because I inherited the place. The price was right.
have you tried dying?
In a machine?
In a fire?
In a machine on fire?
You should at least try it.

1. No power on earth could have kept me in Peoria, Illinois.
Nor where you live, it sounds like.
Mind you, xtra-chromosome will be the first one in to "kick" every thread bemoaning the plight of America's urban poor and how that is an indictment against soulless Americans.

5. "The trashy people don't like it."
How very egalitarian of you.
You wouldn't need a fence (with an electric gate, no less!!) to keep me out. Your attitude toward others and the way that you refer to those less fortunate to yourself would be enough to make me stay away.
Hopefully my attitude will be enough to make you want to move to another continent.

10. They don't like it. It's that simple.
I do know one lady who is black who is low-income and I have known her for forty years. She thinks it looks very nice.
These are white folks that don't like it. I don't waste my time with the ones who hate educated people. You can't tell them anything and you can't change them. I could give you examples of their insults. One of them was a neighbor that was in my house that insulted me. I did not invite her back.
All they know is what some stupid half-assed greedy preacher tells them. They are sheep and they don't ask questions.
Manifestor of Spite: she has a black friend.

14. I thought it was allegory for the Mexican border fence,
I was expecting a lesson at the end.
Maybe you forgot to Press 1.
