You’re really no different than any other racist hating on someone because of their identity. Guilt by association, eh…Democrats have a terrible documented history, but that doesn’t mean all democrats are Klan member.

You’d have to check with a dispensary for seedlings. Other than that find a site for seeds.

I was thinking more like they'd have the experience to know unsafe ice. But also two of them on one vehicle struck me as odd. You don't see too many septa/octogenarians zipping around on machines, one riding on the back. At least I don't?

Go back to Rutland my man. You’re making a fool of yourself here.

EPA protections - I’m not sure specifically to which protections you are referring, but I can say restricting anything to the point where it is impractical or impossible to sustain does not work until a viable alternative is available.
Abortion - there is no right. No one has a right to kill an innocent human being.
Patriot Act and the Prism Program - I agree with you on this one although Democrats didn’t exactly fight either one and extend state surveillance to healthcare and finances.
Shoot to kill someone you think is robbing your neighbor’s house - this is a new one to me, but I like the idea if you determine the person is actually robbing your neighbor’s house.
Healthcare - this is not a right. Everyone’s health is their own responsibility. Everyone gets sick and everyone dies. Some people have more health issues than others. It isn’t fair - it is just the way it is.
Unemployment - this is not a right either. Bad things happen. Plan for it as best you can - make your own unemployment fund and grow it over time.
Crime rates - crime rates are highest nationally in progressive cities and in states with the most restrictive gun regulations and laws.

Well, ultimately the school you attend will be decided on where you live. CVU or Essex will probably have the best chance to provide a successful team, but any school could be good at a random sport any year. Scorebooklive.com is where Varsity teams report their scores and track their record, so you can check out each school there if you're looking for a specific sport.
As for reputation, BHS is probably the lowest regarded of the group. They'll each have their good and bad aspects, but purely from reputation I would say BHS gets the short stick.

Academically strongest are South Burlington and Essex. Best for athletics (in my opinion) is CVU. Burlington HS is currently operating in a former mall in downtown and seems to be a very unique experience (not sure if I’d recommend it).

Honestly, I’m kinda not surprised. The last several incidents like this I remember hearing about all involved elderly people in vehicles who couldn’t exit

athletics is probably a bigger factor

You do athletics or speaking solely on academic quality?

> Educate yourself
Low education and low information voters are the Republican bread and butter. By denying a quality education to voters across the US they are cynically shoring up their base.

A second pair fell through this morning and at least one of them passed away as well. Grand Isle sheriffs “suggesting” that ice fishing derbies be cancelled and urging folks to get off the ice.
There’s no safe ice on champlain this year folks. Just face it. I see people saying “there’s a foot in keelers bay!” - may be true but that foot of ice wasn’t strong enough twice in the last 48hrs.

Most of the hardos are extinct. Either that or times have changed. There are sometimes postgame beers, but not during play. It’s hard enough to hit a baseball as it is. 😆

Minorities have been purged off voter roles in multiple states, even for skipping voting in only one election, and aren't notified about it. Poling places in poor and minority communities have been closed, forcing them to find a way to get to a far away voting place, and then Georgia passed a bill that made it illegal to give these people who have been standing in line for hours even a bottle of water even in 100 degree weather. I'm guessing you've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to check in to vote, but I have relatives who have waited for hours in the South, while white areas have no such waits. I won't even get into the voter intimidation of voters in cities, in the name of looking out for voter fraud. I ask you, since 2016, how many provable instances of voter fraud were there? I'll give you a hint, the convictions were almost all Trump voters voting twice or more.
LGBT teachers aren't even allowed to mention their significant other in class without falling afoul of "Don't say Gay" laws in Florida, while straight teachers are freely able to talk about their wives or husbands.
All of these are easily verifiable with a very quick Google search.

I played several years ago with a mixed experience. Some teams were very serious... Players still holding on to the dream. Other teams treated it as a casual beer league. It made for tension during certain matchups. I don't know if it's still like that, but Id guess it varies by team.

I’ve been reading up on these and I’m a bit intrigued. Thank you for suggesting this. I think I’m going to give them a call to explore options and investigate cost.
