Vermont has a lot of healthy orgone. Maybe that's why it was the only state Bush and Cheney didn't visit. :-P I love that you can buy raw anything around there, and nobody cares too much about that kind of stuff.. Vermont folk call those strange aliens from the big cities "Flatlanders", and sort of don't like them too much. (Can't blame them)

Vermont is on my short list of places to head for if things go wonky around here. Which by now, I suspect they will not, the tide seems to be turning.. But nevertheless. There are a few counties in my state with some pretty serious local militias, but the feds have been hammering away at them pretty heavily over the years. Wait, aren't we supposed to have local militias? Isn't that how we overthrew the first oppressive wave against us? (err.. Brits) Those are also good places to head if the level of wonk goes too high. Many of the counties in this state have a 70-80% "Ignore Rate" on the latest Census.. Pretty hilarious, really.

Vermont seems good on guns. You initial post was ambidextrous on that. Texas is also a republic and can exit the Union at anytime. So what. Montana says it will opt out of onerous Fed gun law <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=montana+guns&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_enUS358US358&ie=UTF-8> imposed via the interstate commerce clause by wholly manufacturing some guns in state. Just saying...... because you own more guns than me

Vermont elected a socialist Senator. Sure you will find a lot of ruff-tuff practical people there. You find that in any fairly rural state where you have more people "on the land"

The best state for the future is Nebraska...... for obvious reasons. They are an agricultural export superpower. If you want to be rich you got to have something others want to buy. Vermont produces boutique type of food and agricultural products. A DisneyLand type theme park.
