Tuesday night – town meeting

The first tuesday of march is sacred here in Vermont. Its the day that most Vermont towns hold their town meetings. Its when most of the town gets together to debate.. And sometimes even agree on the issues facing the town

And some times those are things like banning nukes… This year i don't think we had that much esoteric.. But then again, i wasn't listening that closely, i go for the community. There are folks there that i only see at town meeting,, as i looked around today i saw many of the same folks id been seeing on that same day having basically the same conversations for 31 years… Pretty amazing.. No ? Its democracy at its most basic and perfect.
