What HAS liberal gotten Vermont? Douglas (r) and Sorry Sorrel (D) made deal w/midwest power plants to continue to pollute us VTers! We R too stupid to live.

Young folks think Bernie is going to save the environment????????? He is just a big mouthed politicans. Come on - while you young folks will have to work a lifetime to have little I don't think Bernie ever had a real job. He's lived off your taxes and just rants. He claims to have NEVER heard of Omnibus Reconcilation Act of 1993 that stole your grandparents and parents earned benefits and shifts their cost to the next generations. Yak, yak, yak....

Vermont must be good if they are ranked 7th in IQ nationaly. And they are next to New Hamshire which is 1st.

My point exactly. I just clearly stated I live in Chicago, that should be enough information for you to figure out what state I live in.

Dr34mspr1t3 is right. kswain what state are you from ?

[KSwain10]

I might be a dumbass but I'm still smarter than three-quarters of Vermont's population.

I would watch what you say. Vermont school test results for NAEP were execptionally high compared to other states in the USA.

Arnie was good with the vehicle standards, but he missed a oppertunity when he let the American Auto makers sue Califronia. Bush backed that, Califronia had plans for a electric car infastructure. In my town there is a solar charging station for electric cars. My area has alot of renewable sources. Watch the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car if you are interisted.
