Default So quick to judge

Why are people so quick to judge without knowing all the facts. And why once again are we bashing out of state people.

The photo is a little deceiving. The property to the right has stairs. You might make it down but you will have a heart attack to go back up.

The little house near the shore has been there at least 22 years because that is how long I've been here to see it. There was always a dirt road down to the little house from the top and enough trees cut that you could see the erosion coming down. The house on top completely renovated the dirt road with a fairly sophisticated, elaborate and I'm sure expensive terraced pathway. It looks no wider than for a golf cart and is all grass on the path. They have been working on this for a couple of years so the end of the path is probably 50 feet from the water which was the old std before SPA. They have eliminated all erosion, have planted scrubs, flowers, and plants.

Since the bulk of the trees were gone for some time now I think they did the absolute best they could with what was left.


Also, once again there is this out of state bash that seems to emanate in this forum - "I wonder what state he is from". Why is that any issue. If he is a native then what he did is OK, or if he was a native he wouldn't have done it. Eventhough I went to High School here I am still not a native, and I do drive up from the dreaded state of MA every weekend. I will tell you that I have more respect, pride and well being for this lake then any of my "native" neighbors and I know many more of my fellow bashees that feel the same. I am growing tired of the stereotype.
