Re: Off Topic - wills and trusts

I'd brag too! Sounds heavenly. Can you recommend any sites for job and house searching? We feel very out of sync with our area - very little compassion for animal rights and only the privileged two leggers!

I'm also VERY confident that Vermont will be the first state in the USA to ban Ear Cropping on dogs. This is a HUGE measure, because once we get Ear Crops banned, it's only a matter of time until we get DECLAWING on CATS banned! We're pounding away at our animal cruelty laws every session, trying to improve the lives of Vermont's animals. Sorry, just had to brag, I LOVE where I live and the people here! If it CAN be done, then Vermont will always be one of the first in line getting it done in our legislature. We weren't able to get it past House last session, but you can be sure we'll be right back at it this coming session, after the fall elections. It's already passed in the Senate, a HUGE step! (we're also in deep discussion and making real progress on a universal health care plan for ALL citizens of Vermont, which means there will be NO uninsured people in Vermont, regardless of income)

It makes me SO proud to live in a place like this! Vermont is wonderful, you actually PARTICIPATE in the government here. We have town meetings (instead of polling booths and paper slips, we actually sit in a big room and discuss every law we pass or fail, with questions and answers, as a community), our selectboard is public, and open for discussion every Thursday night, and individuals can go in front of our state legislature and speak on issues. The state representatives and senators live right down the road, and we're all on first name basis. It's really a great state, I wish I would have grown up here, and not have discovered it as late as I did.
 
OK, off my soapbox... just couldn't resist posting about it.
