I am 75. We are talking the same Vermont we once called Mississippi north and the Same New York State we once called the promised land. I remember when you went from Ottawa to Ogdensburg and the promised land. Ottawa is rich, dynamic and growing and Ogdensburg is just waiting to be put out of its misery along with Binghamton and Syracuse. Burlington has a higher quality of life than Copenhagen. Senators are representatives of their States. Leahy and Sanders are beyond reproach. America as a hole is full of shit. The once upon time light to the world. A promising Empire turned into a shithole country. This is what Milton called ruling in Hell. This is what John Donne called decay and corruption.
