Best Town to live in ?

Judge Carroll is a very nice man. Unfortunately, I can see that he would be of little or no help in dealing with deadbeats. If you ever wanted a snapshot of today's society/culture, spend a morning in the Laconia District Court, and watch the parade of losers, one after another, who cannot live within societal norms. Almost no one works. No one has money for judgments or fines. And the judge, whether it was Judge Carroll or whoever replaced him, are excessively sympathetic to their plight, even the criminals. And that's the problem. Rather than hammering these folks with tough love, we coddle and sympathize. However, heaven forbid you are a productive member of society, there is no such mercy or grace. The full extent of the law will be employed.
