fishcorn:
Your ancestors fought for freedom from the tyranny of the English, but today the Scottish people remain slaves to the vile oppressors, crushed under the heel of the aristocratic boot.
It's up to you, Calum. You must fight for freedom. Unite the clans, restore honor to the Scottish people. You must do this. You will do this. I have seen it in a vision.
Refalm:
Rightly so. They're as rich in English titles and lands as they are in Scottish, just as we are. You admire this man, this Calum Carlyle. Uncompromising men are easy to admire. He has courage; so does a dog. But it is exactly the ability to *compromise* that makes a man noble. And understand this: Charles Philip Arthur George is the most ruthless king ever to sit on the throne of England. And none of us, and nothing of Scotland will remain, unless *we* are as ruthless. Give ear to our nobles. Knowing their minds is the key to the throne.
"Ye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR MAKE-UP!"

i can't help but think that you are somehow mocking me.
Since i have no sense of humour, i'll respond by reminding you that i am not anti-english, but i recognise the events of history and my position is that it would benefit england *and* scotland both if they had independence from each other (as a full EU member, for scotland anyway, england may have reservations about this i'd guess), but sadly, though you'll hear protestations from every mouth that scotland is somehow incapable of managing its internal economy (i have yet to hear a good reason why scottish people are incapable of this and yet americans, russians, germans, etc etc etc are all capable of running their own economies) but when you look at it, it's scotland's oil that sustains the british economy.
If scotland doesn't wake up now, then we will get our independence from england the same week the oil runs out, and that will be the time when we will not be able to manage our economy, because up till that point it will have been mismanaged by a westminster government that considers scotland as an exploitable resource rather than a nation.

You can't escape your destiny, young warchief. You must go into the hills and start raising an army.
