What wrong with avoiding certain places because of local politics? For instance, why would one ever want to visit (and spend money in) San Francisco?

Also, can't this theory be extended to movies, and Hollywood? Do you support (attend) movies featuring all of these biased/vicious Hollywood liberals (Alec Baldwin, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon) when they bash Bush/Republicans/conservatives at any opportunity?

Furthermore, do you buy the music of outspoken America-bashing liberals (name a few)? Just wondering....

You are not talking about a specific location in Vermont (such as Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory), you are talking about the whole freaking state. There are some good, decent Americans up in Vermont and we got some Freepers up there as well. I'm not going to write off an entire group of my fellow Americans on account of a few bad apples.

As for music, I don't run a political litmus test on the performers of every record I buy. But if somebody is especially obnoxious in the public eye about their liberal politics, I will go out of my way not to buy their records. Barbara Streisand is a good example.

Good grief! How about logging off and going out and seeing the world for a change. San Francisco is certainly stomach-turning as far as politics are concerned, but is one of the most beautiful and interesting places on earth.

If your logic were to be followed, come to Southern Denton County, TX where almost 80% of the residents are Republican. You can take in the scenic vistas of Lake Lewisville on the ACE beach and the I-35E bridge. Pitch a tent in the 95F heat and sleep with the fire ants. You can stroll on our sidewalk-less streets and play "dodge-the-soccer-mom-in-the-Suburban." Take in a good meal at one of the hundreds of nation-wide chain restaurants.

Perhaps there is more to life than politics. Perhaps you could look beyond some stupid activist and enjoy life, or you could allow every malcontent to ruin your life.
