Over this past weekend i spent most of my time in Castleton, and while i was down there i realized how different it actually was from burlington. When i walk through downtown burlington all i see are different posters protesting things with extremely liberal statements, and lots of hippies. Then when down in castleton...none of those things...infact it was almost the exact opposite. Most people held more conservative views, with few protests about the governemnt and the way it is being run.
I knew that rural vermont was more conservative than burlington, but i never really knew how much untill i actually met multiple people from those areas.

I completely understand where you are comming from with this situation. When I started school in Burlington I knew that it was filled with liberal hippies but i figured there would still be some conservative views. I believed this because I'm from VT and its very conservative in my corner of the state. Its suprising what a 130 mile difference can do between a cities political view.
