A Freer Scotland

I always seem to find myself discussing Scottish Independence.

A short re-cap, the last time I was here I ended up discussing Scottish Independence with my battlefield tour guide.

Now, two years later, I found myself this evening, sitting in an ornate library, listening to a panel of three MSPs and two Scottish scholars who were all discussing the matter of Scottish independence. Oh, how the times have changed - and how they haven't.

Nothing was solved tonight, of course. Everyone stood their party ground. But it was a great debate. The speakers would make slight jabs at each other and one of the scholars was about eighty and was not worried about offending anybody.  He told one man (who supported independence) that he was living in "cloud cuckoo land" if he believed the Scottish would still have any right to the pound after they claimed independence.

Oh, Scotland.

That's all here really.

I had classes this week. All six hours. But I'm up to my nose in reading. No worries - not just wasting time over here.

My two criminology classes were really great. I really enjoyed them. My statistics class seems about as exciting as one would expect.
