I say cut em loose, let it deteriorate into the socialist haven and see how long they survive being the hotbed for homosexuals and socialists, exporting maple syrup....... In Vermont, nascent secession movement gains traction - Boston.com (http://www.boston.com/news/local/vermont/articles/2007/06/03/in_vermont_nascent_secession_movement_gains_tracti on/ - broken link)
Another thought. It might make for a really interesting experiment. Let them form whatever utopia they have in mind.
The neat part would be to sit back and see, over time, what types of people and businesses flock to VT and what types of people and businesses leave (assuming their allowed to leave after VT becomes an independent nation).
I love it........at least they are free thinking, independent, and realistic enough to realize that this country is not worth belonging too any longer.........I'm making plans to relocate back east and Vermont is looking better everyday
silas777, whether you can tolerate the truth of it or not, Vermont is sure doing a number of things right as a socialist haven as you put it. That state is rated tops for health in the nation, has very low crime and poverty rates, ranks no. 4 as a most livable state, and to top it off is ranked as the smartest state in the union at Smartest State 2006-2007
So if you ask me something is pretty damned good, right and highly desirable about the socialism in Vermont.

I don't know if I'm having vision problems or if it is my monitor, but just exactly what is this a picture of below your quote? I can't tell on my screen.
