If you believe there is “no political corruption”, then you may fail to recognize when it does occur in state and local governments, as I have seen firsthand.
As always, Sen. Wrenner is right. I overstated the no corruption thing. It exists in little pockets that would be laughed at in NY or CA. My point is that Vermont is a beacon compared to those places politically.
Yes. Thanks. I think what we need is some organizing committee or organization to start the marches happening...I don't think it's torpor, I think we need some leadership ...to start things humming...

Jill LePore asks, “Where is everybody?” In 2023, I posted to Facebook, “A democracy will not survive its own torpor.”
To hear LePore’s question three years later is quite worrying.
