Re:Scots, What the Heck?

I find it interesting to argue this referendum in comparison with the Province of Quebec (disclaimer: I'm from Quebec). Forget Canada vs Scots, both are different.
I've learn two things about referendum:
1. It gets emotional. It's ike the atom bomb of politic. What? You disagree and you'll get out of the country!? People behave differently. So... This article from the nyt looks like a scarecrow in support of a No vote. Scots do not care about our housing bubble caused by artificial low interest rates.
2. A referendum is not "unusual" or about "substantial funding". It is history in the making. Why the Scots will make a referendum, is not about federal money.
I believe in federalism, for the motives expressed by Milton Friedman. His way is to give more power to the states, and more to the cities.
A strong big spending federal gov is not ideal. Thanks housing bubble!

He makes me think a of modern-punk cicero, with a sense of justice for others (tortured people) above his own self. Give this guy a break for his broken oath: he pays a harsh price already.

I decided to do a small set of bench press and basic weight lifting in my basement at 6:30am monday, wednesday and friday: the gym, i go once a week during winter to work the cardiac system with bike/running (things to help me go there are the pay per visit fees - no yearly subscription AND doing intervals, and its next to my work place). That's my Minimum Viable "gym" schedule - i do other sports as well but those aren't routine

Sony took this from the Guide "How to write abusive and unfair contracts". Seriously, it will be interesting to see how the class action lawyers will deal with this: I'm not sure the judge will like that kind of shadow manoeuvering, where the consumers see nothing coming.
