The Future Republic of Vermont?
Interesting article and not surprising in the least. I have felt for some time now that by the time I am an old man (I am 30 now) that the U.S. probably won't look the same as it does today, that some state or region is likely to break away at some point. Vermont isn't the first state to seriously discuss secession in modern times.
Quote:
The winds of secession are blowing in the Green Mountain State.
Vermont was once an independent republic, and it can be one again. We think the time to make that happen is now. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. government has grown too big, too corrupt and too aggressive toward the world, toward its own citizens and toward local democratic institutions. It has abandoned the democratic vision of its founders and eroded Americans' fundamental freedoms.
Vermont did not join the Union to become part of an empire.
Some of us therefore seek permission to leave.
