I express my views from my knowledge and perspective. I do not use any disparaging remarks toward others with differing views.

Those that post such comments only reinforce my views and perceptions of those living here. Thanks for posting your remarks.

So what would you know about the drug and alcohol problems in a big city in order to make a comparison? I can tell you for sure that there is no way Moultonboro or Center Harbor or even Meredith could hold a candle to the suburbs of Boston in terms of a drug problem. While I am sure there are drugs in the area why would you begrudge someone moving to the area in order to lessen their children's exposure to drugs. As for your "parking lot" comment I can most assuredly tell you that was a negative and disparaging comment.

Unless of course you are one of those that is trying to discourage "flatlanders" from moving to "your" New Hampshire???

As someone so very correctly stated if you are looking for drugs you will find them. I wouldn't be surprised to find them in a church in this day and age. The reality is that the Lakes Region is a far far FAR better place to raise kids than some of the Boston area suburbs.

Bottom line is that it is better up there than it is down here.
