Reply to Green, it's in our state's name, and it WILL be coming back soon (sorta) by RamaSchneider

FWIW: I was looking at various sources to see when the the Ainsworth State (apparently not) Forest was created. Turns out there isn't such an entity, but there IS the Ainsworth State Park ... I think maybe.

At least according to the below Vermont state government website page there is indeed an Ainsworth State Park, but there is no associated link as seen with most of the other state parks listed. For that matter, the Vermont state park's website (vtstateparks.com) doesn't list an "Ainsworth State Park" at all.

But this I know from direct, first person experience: the park or whatever it is has official Vermont government signs both identifying the park and doing the "no dumping", etc. So it is there, it is owned by our Vermont state government, and it gets logged in a responsible manner.

So I'll be sticking with "State Forest" for now until I hear otherwise.

Reply to comment by TheMobyDicks in Teacher moving to VT by thebaerfetus

There are bad teachers too. I think in the past, teachers were trusted more. And parents didn't spoil their dumb kids. Now, some teachers have an agenda and some parents think their overweight 10 year old is a perfect angel and smart to boot. It's tough teaching kid's whose attention span is as long as something on TikTok. And too dumb to realize it. We need good teachers and the good ones should be rewarded with higher compensation.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Alternative, get shot first. IMPORTANT: always know what you’re aiming at prior to pulling trigger. Not being able to defend yourself is among the dumbest laws humans have devised…yes, please, watch your daughters be raped and when you’ve had enough, flee, don’t fight for their lives or you’ll go to jail, you will not pass go and will not collect $200 and there’s no get out of jail free cards. For the sake of family and friends still there, hoping Lamont fails in this.

What happened to the VT I grew up in? Hunters are going to love this. Like VT had a huge gun violence problem. When I was growing up, I didn’t know anyone without a gun. Kids even hunted, in season, on way to and from school and firearms were locked up in the office…bagging a deer was a legit excused absence. No one ever got hurt and everyone knew someone’s dad would kick their ass if they did anything unsafe and there were no cops or judges who would listen to the kid whine, if they did.
