In what three ways do Vermont and New Hampshire appear to be different?

On paper, according to the census, they appear to be a match: Vermont has half a million people, making it 49th of 50 states in population. The median age for residents is 33. It is 98 percent while and has a 5 percent unemployment rate. New Hampshire has about a million residents. That places it 40th in rank. It, too, is 98 percent white and also has an unemplyment rate lingering around 5 percent. This proves beyond doubt that statistics are stupid. As a matter of fact, two states could no be more different. Vermont is a beautiful place, a postcard. New Hampshire looks like Arkansas with snow. Vermont was home to Abe Lincoln's son and the von Trapp family. New Hampshire gave us the lunatic publisher Loeb, the theif Sherman Adams, athe perposterous Sununu and a member of the Manson gang. Vermont passed a Clean Air act before the environment became trendy. New Hampshire wrote a constitutional amendment raising the IQ of its citizens by 50 points so they could communicate with their house pets. Vermont has several nifty towns like Brattleboro and Montpelier. New Hamshire's largest city - Manchester - has a main street that concludes in a dead end. First thing you see when cross into Vermont is spectactular foliage and sprawling valleys that recede into picturesque, rolling hills. First thing you see in New Hampshire is a toll booth where the attendent is stumped making change for a $5 bill, followe d by a state liquor store.

Well, I didn't live in New Hampshire, but I spent a lot of time there while living in Boston, and I've also spent time in Vermont. In my experience, the New Hampshirites tend to use polysyllabic words, while the Vermonters often seem to have trouble coming up with a one-syllable response to any question. That constitutional amendment must have been required by the fact that New Hampshire pets are simply considerably smarter than average. Abe Lincoln's son wasn't a patch on his father, and the von Trapps? Oh, please. New Hampshire's residents or natives include Robert Frost, Maxfield Parrish, Ken Burns, and Daniel Webster, all persons of talent and intellect. (O.K., it also "boasts" Grace Metalious and Dan Brown, but every state deserves a few embarrassments.) And there's a hell of lot to be said for New Hampshire's liquor stores. ;) Sep 28 06, 4:21 PM
