Just an opinion from a Villager wannabe, and hope to-be shortly. While TV may not be a true gated community, I think that having gates at the various entrances to the different villages, does act as a deterrent for the devious who might think about some sort of illbehavior. While it might not stop the professional a..h.le lovehorse :edit: from coming in and trying something, I think it does deter much of the young untrained a..h.les lovehorse lovehorse :edit: from doing us harm.

I also think the ever bending streets and roads also help in this deterrent. Give me the gates even it they are not truly gated. Ofter more times than not it's the impression not the content that counts. How many times have you driven past a house that said "security active", or "beware of dog", only to find out that it's only a sign. First impressions do count for something.

As for lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, or what ever, when your time has come, it has come and you won't be around to give it a second thought.

I think the sign out side my house will read...

"Smith & Wesson activated in this house!" :cop:

"Keep the gates, please!"
