What say you?

Personally, I have to say no.  I have Scottish ancestry and this is a very personal thing to me, and after some thinking, I've come to the conclusion that Scotland is better off with the UK right now, given the situation in the world.

The fact that your great-great-grandfather was born in Scotland doesn't make this any more relevant to you than to anyone else in America.

Close.  My great-great grandmother was born in Scotland.  My great-great grandfather, though he had a Scottish surname, was born in Canada and was primarily of Irish ancestry.

Just say no.

Have you ever been to Scotland? Ever eaten haggis? Ever play the bagpipes? Ever wear a kilt?

No, but I'd love to do all those things except eat haggis.

BTW: does anyone still think I'm black?

lay off oldiesfreak, he supports the Republican Party in 2014 because Lincoln freed the slaves.

I also support the Republican Party in 2014 because I support human rights for the unborn and a more business-friendly tax structure.
