Knowing the most important - nay, the ONLY important -
thing to (the vast majority of) people
is maintaining the status quo path of least resistance,
I guarantee that the (vast majority of) Scottish people
will also be stupid & vote "No" on Scottish independence
on Friday 2014 September 19 this week.

Those few who vote "Yes" are smart enough to understand
the long-term benefit of being free & independent of banksters.

Stupidity knows no bounds of nationality or gender or race.
Yes - variations in magnitude and in which ways people are stupid do exist
across nations, gender, race, etc. But, those variations are historical artifacts,
not some "inherent property" of a nation, gender, race, etc

I bet my.... reputation ()?

Huge enormous sigh.
Would love to be pleasantly surprised when I wake up Saturday morning.

And, no, I ain't Scottish, although, probably, I'm sure somebody on my mother's
WASPy side is of Scottish descent if I go back far enough.

And, no, this not some anti-English rant.
If the English people were smart, they would vote for independence, too,
for themselves, from the banksters.

I mention this vote, because, the choice seems (to me)
like such an easy "no-brainer": even having the opportunity to have a referendum
put to a vote like this is such a rare & wonderful thing, brought to you by
the (as always) tiny minority of activists working hard.

Of course, my father's side is STRICT shellfish & lobster.
Believe me: my parents families did NOT trust each other.
Total anti-crustacean bigotry by my mom's family,
except, curiously, when they ate at Red Lobster.

I agree in that it would do the Scots well to separate and too, that they likely won't.
The oil they would lay claim to would be enough to settle any financial deterrents and as you point out, freedom from the banking cartel would benefit all I'm sure.

Of course there's always the "Ukrainian Solution"

The vast majority of Scottish people are stupid? Well, this is the internet therefore saying stuff like that isn't offensive.
