———————————————————— 3. EDITORIAL: U.S. OUT OF VERMONT – LONG LIVE THE «UNTIED STATES««U.S. Out Of Vermont.” How to explain the popularity of such sentiment?Some of the energy is faddish, no doubt, while other left-leaning Bush-bashers reflexively point to, as a primary cause, the past seven years of “King George” and Vice Resident Cheney’s Beltway reign.
But “U.S. Out Of Vermont?” This from a state that has enthusiastically contributed, to the rest of the country, Ethan Allen’s defiance, John Deere’s plow, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Robert Frost’s poetry, Joseph Bentley’s science, Grace Potter’s music, John Dewey’s pedagogy, and more pancake syrup than you can shake a maple limb at? This from a state that has willingly sent its own sons (and now daughters, too, in the Iraqi desert and the Afghani mountains) to fight and die on behalf of America since the independent republic of Vermont joined the United States in 1791?
