what will the feds do?

I'd be tempted to move there if that happens. It's a pretty state, though I think it gets cold in the winter. .

"Congress and the executive branch are being run by the multinationals. We have electoral fraud, rampant corporate corruption, a culture of militarism and war. If you care about democracy and self-governance and any kind of representative system, the only constitutional way to preserve what's left of the Republic is to peaceably take apart the empire."

qft.

If Vermont seceded, then DC can get statehood and the flag won't be messed up

Naw, Vermont would whip them like they did in 1812.

The fact that the majority of these people are working in universities and academic institutions proves once and for all that the land of academia is good for nothing more than providing shelter to those who would otherwise be useless to society.

one is retired, one is Kirkpatrick Sale, an old lefty who I dont think has ever held an academic position. That leaves one currently employed academic.

I predict a rise in the prices of maple syrup and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Otherwise no change.

We'll have Vermont back as part of Britain. It's small, attractive- it'll fit in nicely.

Texas will secede before Vermont does.

[Guynemer]

That seals it. Secede, Vermont!

You'll miss us when we're gone.
