Well at least the topic doesn't involve washed-up actresses.

Like with all activities, a few bad apples spoil the batch, and pretty soon
no one will be able to do what they love because a few yahoos f*ck it up for
everyone.

I have to wonder how many six-packs were consumed during those two guys'
outing?

40" of barbed wire with the prerequisite no tresspassing signs, and then 10
feet inside the property line, a high-tension piano wire about neck-level
for an ATV rider....

Sounds like what the farmers in Wisconsin were using to discourage
snowmobilers when I was up there in the 70's. It got tense at one
point when one hit a single strand barbed wire fence that cut his
throat - they tried to hang the farmer. The only way he got off was
that the fence was rigged as an electrictrfied pasture enclosure to
keep the cattle in and had been in place for several years so they
couldn't show any intent to injure the poor trespasser.
