Carol C.----I arrived on Vancouver Island some 10-11 years back, and like the place. That said, I am a Scot to my toenails, and a Nationalist with a big capital "N" of the left-of-centre variety.I find the views as stated by "Scotland the Brave" [ a vacuous term] a wee bit disconcerting by virtue of the fact that no-one on this forum has been trying to overblow the American trumpet.I don't admire US foreign policy, but know the sterling quality of the folks in the States---I'd better acknowledge that---I'm married to one! Cheers---I'm gone to a music thread!
