Rantings
Even when people are being immature and unintelligent, unforgiving and selfish, loud and obnoxious, I still am hopeful.

How foolish of me. I think I just can't decide. One day I think we're all going to be damned because of all the people around me that I know can't hold their own, and are only going to produce a broken home and generate more money for drug dealers, but still I see the good. When I see someone smiling, maybe they are happy. Maybe they feel good about themselves today, and will do something with their lives. Maybe one person can make up for the failings of another.

So you want to leave? You can't right now. When you get to wherever you're going, you are going to want back, at least for a little while, even if you don't admit it now, or then, or ever. Do you know why? Because even though there are a hundreds of people to hate and to want to get away from, one person can make you stay, because their love, their friendship will outweigh those hundred.

Although, is it worth it to live a life of quiet desperation for something better, being held back by one love, that could be easily replaced in some unknown community in the world? Will you know if you don't go find it, but what if you do leave to find it, and it is not there?

Where are you then?

Oh dear, I believe I have thought myself into quite a dilemma.
I'm glad I don't have this problem (to an extent where I would have to chose).

Ah, well, goodnight all.

de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America"
de Tocqueville was definitely impressed with the ideas within American culture. He saw American democracy as a method to maintain continuity to keep the great masses happy. In other words, the greatest advantage of American democracy is political efficacy.

Hence this brings me to the reson for posting this in this community. One of de Tocqueville's main points was about political association within the United States. Not just national government, but also the prevailing interests of many smaller groups. The idea first introduced by James Madison in "The Federalist No. 10." The idea that people can have their voices heard through these various organizations. Such is the way our lake will be saved. Because of this association: The Little Whitefish Lake Association. Because of this the land owners on the lake have secured a way to treat our beloved hangout with chemicals to stop the growth of damaging and harmful aquatic plant life. de Tocqueville also viewed this as a disadvantage to American democracy. He did not know how Americans could get anything done with so many competing interest within all levels of government.
The aristocratic ideals that were so present in his upbringing had their advantages also. to combat this problem of civilians, the aristocrats would have economic control over the populace and political control as well. This would stiffle insurrectionist thought as was so accustom within France. In comparison, American's that had an economic advantage were looked on as improper representatives of the people. This was more true in the North than in the South. The wealthy aristocrats of the northeast found it hard to get elected to any office. This was due to the expansion of suffrage to every free man. This was a disadvantage to America because the wealthy could not protect their own interests. The common man may seek a legislative, or political action to harm those of the upper class while at the same time elevating himself to a middle classic state.

These are all ramblings for a paper that is due in a few days. Trusted for sure, most of this will make it in there, I just needed to get some preliminary writing done.

IF you are a new member of the lake, would you please introduce yourself and whom you are.

An open invitation ... For any of you that know of or have been to Thunderhawk Resort on Little Whitefish Lake. You are now able to access information about the lake, contact people from the lake, and all together stay in touch during the winter. I envision this place to be a safe haven for those of us who love it there. Flashlight tag will occur on Friday and Saturday nights, however I am not sure how it will work on the internet yet.
