Um---being from Boulder, Colorado...I can just say---there must be certain "breeding areas" for ignorant people...and you and I have seen them up close and personal...
But you notice that none of these same states would tolerate a license tag that says "Choose life"!!!
I can tell you for sure that Vermont is one of those places. Home of Howard Dean, Bernie Sanders, "Jumping" Jim Jeffords, Patrick Leahy and Ben and Jerry (whose ice cream I absolutely will not buy and I don't care if they don't own it any more). I'm surprised there's any grass growing in Vermont's cemeteries, considering how some of the old timers in there must be spinning. Must be a lot of friction there :(
