I agree that politically that Vermont is lost to the

Ben and Jerry Lefty front.

I agree now that perhaps a policy of containment is best at this point. If we allowed Vt to independent I hope it would become a magnet for all east coast lefties. They would all flock there. I would miss the good roads but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. They could throw out all industry and base their economy on hemp macrame and mens pony tail scrunchies
