badger's quay - newfoundland

i'm in newfoundland. home of the newfies. some are confused. newfoundland is an island off the east coast of canada. it's a province (state), and is the home of my beloved. it's a beautiful place and the whole island is like a small country town. in the part we are in, there's 2800 people, spread out along the bay. everyone knows everyone.
the thing i like about here is that everyone is treated the same. you are introduced once, then you are family.
while at times, i have thought that some of the lifestyle here is a bit old school, really, in some ways, it's a model society. if you need something, someone else will give it to you. you don't need to lock your doors. you get eh idea. sure, it's a bit colder than i'd prefer, but that's just my preference.
anyway, we are on the internet in the public library (really it's the high schools library), so i have to be quick.

here's my question to think about today...what would an ideal society look like these days?
