Barbarians at the gate

To the ones who build it, a fence is an image of
safety, of security, of things being kept where
they belong. Yet a person whoe feels safe, or
secure, doesn´t bother building fences at all.
And so a fence, or a wall, or a security barrier,
is equally an image of gnawing insecurity, made
tangible, in brick and razor wire.

Do good fences really make good neighbors?
