Really?

Well...

Let me start by saying that having been born and raised in the State of Vermont (People's Republic of Vermont for some of you nuts), the idea of secession from the United States is not all that crazy an idea to me.

Every "Town-Hall" day there are always quite a few significant efforts made to do just that.

In case you were wondering, "Town-Hall" day is a tradition in Vermont where we do something called "Democracy" where we all get together in our individual towns and vote for things like the school budget, why we can't get a new fire truck (usually because it would increase taxes, and that extra penny or two a year is JUST TOO DAMN MUCH!), etc etc.

I know, we are SO damn weird aren't we?

Anyway...

Apparently this has caused a very strange connection to be created... Secessionist New Englanders (like myself) and those wacky Southern Secessionists!

Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully.

That sounds just fine to the League of the South, a conservative group that refuses to give up on Southern independence.

Well hot-damn! Ain't that the strangest thing?

Seriously though, this just seems bizarre to me that Vermonters and anyone that is/was involved in the South seceding would be in cahoots... I mean, the Vermont snipers won the battle of Gettysburg afterall :)
