I am, for the first time, actually ashamed to have been born in Vermont. What has my old state become? It is now a haven for murder. I remember when it was a beautiful and friendly state. Now you need to reinstitute capital punishment.

What kind of people are we keeping company with here in Vermont? Infanticide. What next; Toddlercide? We are alongside China and North Korea. No respect for life is what happens in a secular society. And Vermont is the most secular state in the nation. Look at what we have become!
