Well then, I think that my money would be better spent elsewhere. Guess there will be no more Ben and Jerry's ice cream for me, and I won't be buying a Vermont Teddy Bear for Valentines Day for my girlfriend...not to mention, anything else from that state. I have an idea for Vermont...well, it isn't my idea. Its one they have been thinking about though....Succeed from the union. Do it. We'll build a border fence, and you won't be able to get in or out of the new country without a passport. I think that would have a negative impact on their tourism, don't you? Oh...I guess Vermont would still want tax dollars from the federal government. I guess their 'open minds' weren't open enough to consider that if they do succeed. I bet that if Amadenimjacket from Iran came there, he would be welcomed with open arms, and a parade thrown in his honor. Hell, let Chavez come too. They would love that, I bet. |

Shaken, not stirred...

:lol: Actually that's kind of funny. While personally I think the idea is a bit ludicrous, I do love to see Americans assert their right to protest in imaginative ways!

Time to put something here

I wonder if Daims would have any problems if I started a petition prohibiting him and the 500 people in his petition from entering my home town and if so doing artiest them for treason. I can guaranty that I can get you 500 signatures to support the measure I don’t know if my town legislature would be cooky enough to put it to a vote though, I sure hope not. |

(link) Does a state senate have ANY authority in this matter? If not, these politicians should not receive public compensation to pursue fantasies brought on by BDS. |

More silly BDS. These loons need to get over this, the 2000 elections, the 2004 elections, the false "Bush lied people died" doggerel, et cetera. This is meaningless symbolistic tripe. If Vermont doesn't like the policies of the United States government, then LEAVE. |

What makes them Loons is not their opinion that the Bush administration should be thought of as war criminals. Everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how wrong it might be. What makes them loons is their very silly way of expressing this opinion. |

I am so glad we live in a free and open society where people have the freedom of speech and right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Unfortunately there are always a minority who don't see it that way, and thank God they don't have the power to change it. |

I am going to have to disagree with the remark you made here. Not a single person here has stated that they disagree with the concept of these people speaking out or petitioning the government. What they have said is that what these people have done is basically ineffective. They also exercised thier own freedom of speech to state that they disagree with the points being made by these people. Sometimes I do wonder who really is trying to squelch free speech. Insulting others with false accusations could be seen as such...... |

The populace can leave. They can go wherever they want. Canada, for example. Britain is another. I specifically did not say the word "secede" as it is illegal. Sufficeth to say, I won't be ordering my bride a Vermont Teddybear this year for Valentine's Day. |

As History Dude said, I like to see Americans protest in creative ways. What constitutes war crime? Is it lying about the reasons for going to war? Creating trumped up charges? Spying on your own population as the KGB did in the USSR? |
