Holy Cow, thanks for seeing that! Sounds like he wants a mini EU and wants the government to do it all.
I would not want to be grouped with Mass and Conn or Vt for sure.

I recall reading somewhere that regional government is some sort of socialist idea brought over from Soviet Russia. But I can't recall the reference offhand.

Better watch it, error! People who view you as dissing 'secession' might get angry.   

Not all secession movements are equal, in other words, what are they seceding TO? If you're going from the frying pan into the collecive FIRE, then the word secession becomes a dirty word. In the case of Vermont, it's that collectivist land taxation scheme that has tainted their whole movement, as far as I'm concerned. it's just another microcosm o fsocialism on a smaller scale, controlled by a lesser authority.

There is always someone wantin' to be in charge!
