[Khephra]

I’m just as curious as you, but I have heard it argued that it may be BECAUSE Vermont has virtually no ethnic diversity. Have you noticed that Scandinavia and the Netherlands seem to be more socially advanced than virtually any other nation on the planet? These countries have virtually no ethnic diversity in their populations. It has been my observation that the more ethnically diverse a country or community is, the more social problems it has. It is certainly not my intention to offend anyone, and I am not a bigot by any means, but it may be that these places are able to achieve a greater sense of community when striving for common goals. There is no ‘us’ and ‘them.’ Does anyone have a better explanation? There doesn’t seem to be any bickering over what gets what, because everyone benefits when the population works together. I’m just as curious as you to see if anyone from New England has an explanation for why Vermont is the way it is.
