Scottish independence

Let me tell you something about scottish people, when the english outlawed bagpipes, the scottish people hid them and started singing puirt-a-buel songs. When the english banned weapons, the scots began training by throwing 1000 lb rocks and flipping trees. When the english killed william wallace, and tried to write him out of history, the scots preserved the story. when the english took the stone of destiny in 1296, the scots, well, in 1950 they finally stole it back from westminister abbey. After centuries of opression, voting no in 2014 for independence is saying scotland has finally been broken. It is like saying that all that fighting was useless.

I am just an american, but I have scottish blood. I have a great-grandfather who refused to leave his homeland out of pride, and other family members whose hearts never strayed from the highlands. There are more people of scottish ancestry living out of scotland than the whole population in scotland, and thats not how it should be. That could change. I don't know much about modern scotland, I only know the stories and the history. I hear alot that there is no pride in scotland, and I wonder how that happened. Scotland deserves its freedom, it deserves to have the pride that the english have tried to keep it from having.

I'll write more on this later
