Scotland Votes Today

Today Scotland votes on the issue of independence from the United Kingdom, from Britain. Most articles say the vote is too close to call, those that do predict see a narrow victory for "no."

A "no" vote will be boring, a "yes" vote will have interesting sequelae. For that reason alone I hope "yes" wins, it will have all sorts of interesting first and second order consequences.

On the other hand, if I were a Scot I'd vote "no" in a heartbeat. The Scots have it good in the U.K. and some don't recognize that fact.
