I think Britain did quite well despite this, and the U.S. has limped along since then..<br /><br />I guess the issues are what would the impact of independence be on Scotland? Would it be harmful financially? In any other way? What are the real reasons for and against independence? <br /><br />I'd say, "Let Scotland be Scotland." "Let the people decide." "Don't panic either way. Everyone will survive."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-32235588675062659642014-09-05T16:45:26.532-04:002014-09-05T16:45:26.532-04:00Caro: I hesitate to jump in on this one... if I ag...Caro: I hesitate to jump in on this one... if I agree, then I'm seen as just joining the herd, and if I disagree, then it looks like I just want to be heard. (Either way, if you can get me a spare ballot, you'll have my vote...) But I do think something smells fishy around here. As for the preponderance of noise and the lack of facts, there's a very simple reason for that (and why most 'smart' politicians follow this tack) -- if you offer facts, they're too easily contested and proven wrong. Best to avoid them.<br /><br />AmA: I was going to propose that the West of the US secede from the union... as long as that's West of the Rockies and doesn't include any of those troublesome MIDwest states -- the East can keep 'em. Even then, there's those troublesome places like Arizona and Utah and... Maybe I should propose that California, Oregon and Washington secede and form Pacifica. But then, I'm not entirely sure about California...<br /><br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-24061780873770135202014-09-05T11:39:18.103-04:002014-09-05T11:39:18.103-04:00I'd keep low for a while.

My experience was that the YESs were belligerent and the NOs often passive and retiring.<br /><br />But I am going to steal a part of your blog: I loved "a man come up to me and give me a piece of his mind which was a shame as I don’t think he had any to spare."
