If Mo disappears mysteriously, we'll know who to suspect.  (And we'll 
know to look for her body under the Alamo.)

Vermont also used to be a Republic, and it's in our state constitution 
that every so many years, we have to vote on whether to remain in the 
Union.  As if anyone would care or notice if we seceded.  Maple prices 
would skyrocket, that's about it.
