Spring thaw brings out Brattleboro raw

Yes, Sanders himself is an “immigrant” from NY. Where in Vermont does he live?

Knowing his ilk and knowing how secure he feels with his "electorate" I'll wager that he doesn't even try to pretend to live in VT.

My guess is that he has a nice,comfortable little $3 million townhouse in Georgetown.

It is correct that Brattleboro, VT is full of socialistic hippified, curtain wearing, leftist scum, however there is another side, a sane side of this quaint little town which basically just stays silent and carries on with their every day lives brushing off the insanity of the leftist idiots.

Driving thru town these days you just might see the average wacko anti-nuclear nut holding vigals and protesting VT Yankee. Average age, 75!

“And there are no laws against “indecent exposure” in Vermont either?”

You’d have to define what ‘indecent exposure’ is in light of the fact that you are NUDE your totally ‘exposed’ to begin with.

[Bigh4u2]

your = you’re (you are)

Can you envision a scenario where a particular thing might happen to a guy that would turn his "innocent nudity" (my phrase) into "indecent exposure",as defined by the laws of pretty much every state in the nation?

“Can you envision a scenario where a particular thing might happen to a guy that would turn his “innocent nudity” (my phrase) into “indecent exposure”,as defined by the laws of pretty much every state in the nation?”

Without complete knowledge of Vermont law, it would be hard to determine.

I don’t disagree with what you are saying. It just seems this town, and state, doesn’t seem to see it the way the rest of the country does.

I think I’ll look it up.

[Bigh4u2]

This is what I found.

“Vermont
T.13 Sec. 2601
(Lewd and Lascivious Conduct)

Statute prohibits “open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior”. Annotations do not indicate whether or not specific intent is required.

5 yrs and/or $300”

So I’m still not sure that a ‘particular thing’, that you are referring to ,would be apply without a better definition of what ‘open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior’ is in Vermont.

[Bigh4u2]

Man, my grammar is terrible.

Take out ‘be’ after ‘would’.

OK....I'll go out on a limb here even though 1)I went to Catholic schools and 2)I don't want to be banned...

Although it might not represent "lewd and lascivious behavior" might it be considered "indecent exposure" (or worse) if,as he passes an attractive woman,a naked guy's Levitra kicks in?

I don’t know. Because the way the law reads, it doesn’t seem to define what ‘lewd a lascivious behavior’ really is.

I guess the only way to really be sure would be to look up actual cases that have been prosecuted, if any.

I don’t have the time to check right now.

It’s my bedtime in about 15 more minutes.

...I'll wager that [Sanders] doesn't even try to pretend to live in VT.

From Article 1, Section 3 of the US Constitution: "No person shall be a Senator ... who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of the State for which he shall be chosen."

So my intuitive guess would be that Sanders at least makes a pretense of being a Vermont resident. But then again, lefties in general are not particularly interested in complying with constitutional mandates because they find the supreme law of the land to be too restrictive. That, despite the fact they take an oath of office to abide by it.
