    Scottish Independence

    By the end of 2014 Scots will have voted in a referendum as to whether they want independence from the UK or not. My question is simple. Why are Scots the only ones to have a voice on this? Why can the English not have a referendum as to whether we prefer Scotland as part of the UK or not...

    Scary stuff

    The US of A has a great deal that's good about it - but some elements scare the crap out of me; as much as, or frankly - based on the relative power fo the states concerned - more than, things happening in Iran etc. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/13/education/13texas.html
