I am proud of being a Scot and I would like to see Scotland free of the English shackles and free to compete in and join with Europe like any other small country might do.
I see no reason why Scotland should not be able to hold it's own just like Finland or Sweden or Norway - f'rinstance - do and I see no reason why this should happen without Scotland losing many of it's positive ties with the rest of "the union".
I know that nationalism has generated bad feeling and even wars in the past but is that not just because the countries that are holding tightly to the nation that is looking for freedom does not want to give this freedom.
So, I would like to ask the wise-ones here....Is the striving for such kinds of freedom a good or a bad thing and if it should not happen, why not ?
