I think if Scotland does part ways with Britain, this will only make the succession efforts in Catalonia I think it is in Spain more likely to succeed. Rob

^ yes, the Catalans are paying a lot of attention to what's happening here.

Did you see the LOL people?
Talk about a victory for the Ayes!
I was in Scotland this summer and heard a lot of people saying that celebrities (like Sean Connery) who spend little time in Scotland were pushing for independence the hardest. Pretty much every town we traveled through had booths promoting unity, but most of the people I spoke to were undecided on the issue. Or at least they weren't saying
I do understand the need for at least symbolic independence. I know next to nothing about the nuts and bolts, though first impressions are that the economy in Scotland might suffer from the break.
In many cases I do support secession - I think it is crazy that Hawaii was ever made a state, and do think they should be given independence.
I also support Vermont in their fight; the U.S. has become a war-mongering, earth-destroying machine, and I'm quite pleased that Vermont is standing up and saying they want no part of that.
I also believe that California should be broken into smaller states, as the current Senate representation is not equitable (and for other reasons as well.)

I was in Northern Ireland - and in Belfast mostly for a month in Spring of 1981 when Bobby Sands died and have some not-so-fond memories of the Orange Lodge. But then I have some not-so-fond memories of Belfast (a city I think would be wonderful if I was there another time) which was in serious lockdown then - as was most of Northern Ireland. I was in the coast guard then and combining a visit with a job assignment otherwise I would have been wise to stay away. But it was an interesting time to be there.
Gardenian, Thank You for your post. I was not aware of Vermont wanting to secede and I googled and read about this. Very interesting. I doubt it will ever happen but very interesting nonetheless and I have nothing but respect for Vermont for wanting out of the union - though I do question what this would do to Vermont economically?
