Vermont and The Empire
June 4th, 2007




So I was a dorkofascist for pointing out that the complaints we hear about the Galactic Republic in Star Wars weren’t particularly beyond the pale: Namely that the Republic had grown too big and sclerotic to be governable and responsive to the needs of individual planets.

Here’s a hippie Vermonster talking about why Vermont should secede from the United States: “The argument for secession is that the U.S. has become an empire that is essentially ungovernable–it’s too big, it’s too corrupt and it no longer serves the needs of its citizens.”

Sounds like someone is channeling Count Dooku and/or Senator Palpatine.
