Maggie's Farm

with reasons to speak affectionately,
and yet with circumspection,
Vermont is sometimes referred to as
"the Nation's Pet".

there are more than a few who are educated
beyond their pay grade,if you get my meaning.
bright people,but with a distorted sense
of their own importance.

a few years back, the lower quater of NH had the same population count as the entire state of VT.
granted,many in southern NH are tax-refugess from MA,
but given the visual similarity on a map (by area)
the stat was stunning to me.

VT was "Middle Earth" for the Sixties "back-to-nature"
refugees, and with the advent of Saint AlGore's global hysteria,the fashionable fever only promises to spread.
VT suffers from a certain amount of
that deadly sin,"enviro-pride".

pretty accurate statements above from John about
"flatlanders" and Bernie from Brooklyn.
lotta people seem
not to be able to get enough of the guy.

some of the highest taxes in the nation,to boot.

in the defense of the current legislature,
the Speaker of the house Gail Symington(a Dem)
helped to table or defeat an impeachment proposal
aimed at Bush(by another Dem,Peter Shumlin) in the last month or so....the national precedent would have given the moonbat wing way to much gratification,and she was sane enough to see the divisiveness and harm it would
have caused the country.
