Today is the second time in a year and a half that two pitbulls got into my yard. The first time was an error on my part when tearing down an old shed that had an open space in the fence. Well, I fixed that…but what do you do when random loose pitbulls jump your 4 foot chain link fence. SMH…people either don’t think things through on these matters or they have lived sheltered lives.

I guess the next law passed in Centruy will be that all homes will have to have a complete glass front wall.

If they want to collect fines for these kinds of laws when violated, then it is time for us to make a law which allows citizens to fine government officials when they’ve created a law that violates our rights. Fair is fair.

“I do not believe any of us can make it through a week without breaking at least 1 law”

I read somewhere that there are so many laws that the average Joe commits at least 4 felonies per week without even knowing about it. That there is such an exorbitant number of laws on the books that there is absolutely nobody who knows them all. Laws like this one, for instance.

This is why America has become known as the Regulation Nation around the world. I do not believe any of us can make it through a week without breaking at least 1 law. There are too many for us to possibly know all of them and some, like this one, are so petty, we would have never even imagined they existed.

Now I can sort of understand them regulating “SOLID” fences to a certain height if it is obstructing vision of drivers. But regulating the height of Chain Link Fences does not make much sense. Chain Link does not get harder to see through as it gets higher! And I can’t see someone being restricted to 2 feet on a corner or 3 feet elsewhere, with a solid fence, if they have big dogs in the yard. Besides, if you are not breaking the law, why should they tell you what you can construct on your “PRIVATE PROPERTY”!!!

I don’t know why I am complaining about this fence ordinace. It has been around for a while and has yet to make me skip a beat. I get up everyday and do my thing and it has yet to cause me any headaches.

I guess its like the tree that roamed the forest and never made a sound and nobody ever heard a thing.

Because others in the county live under this law doesn’t make it right or even Constitutional. That’s like saying, “Yo, the Chinese don’t get to protect their property rights and they get along just fine (if they don’t get shot trying to protest).

Why are Century residents whining about this? 300,000 other people in this county already live under this law. But don’t do this to Century residents. Must have something to hide. The rest of the county keeps the illegal stuff in the backyard.
