The southern part of the state does have the cancer called progressivism. The further north of Concord one goes, the less you see and hear of the disease. Northern VT has some Free State characteristics. One has to get to know the people who live here. There is a strong sense of individual sovereignty at least in this community. There is also a difference that manifests in conversation with folks. People are cordial, but become a whole lot friendlier when they know you are a year rounder rather than a summer timer. Summer timers are associated with big city progressive attitudes in the mind of many locals. There are a number of good states to live. Idaho comes to mind as one. North Carolina is definitely good for jobs, not sure of much else. There is a Free State resource on the web, but don’t have url.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> 450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com [mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>David McKenzie<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 01, 2013 10:30 AM<br><b>To:</b> 144.450 Mailing List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [450] FW: Mama Bear and Cub<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>north carolina is supposedly pretty job-fertile and rights-respecting!
