Scotland Ready to Secede---Vermont?

The latest polling in the UK shows that a yes vote on Scot secession is likely to succeed.  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/06/scots-radical-new-deal-save-the-union

If successful, it will likely rekindle the Vermont secession movement. Despite Thomas Naylor's Second Vermont Republic movement's unfortunate association with a Southern US racist secession organization (  http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2008/summer/north-meets-south ), there's much to be argued in favor of Vermont secession. More to come in future blog posts on this topic from Constitutional and political perspectives.

Postscript-- Thomas Naylor died in the Spring of 2013.
