I personally wouldn't mind if they left. Whenever I fill out an online form and have to choose my state from a drop down box, I hit the "v" button to quickly access my state, only to be brutally reminded that I still have to skip past that god damn Vermont. If they left the US, I would save 0.1 seconds on each online form. It may not seem like much, but it all adds up. Wasting 2 seconds of my precious life every year for Vermont is certainly not worth it.

If they changed their name to "Virmont", I think I'd be okay.
