“...not to say the cultural impact of Braveheart...”
I happened to think about that movie yesterday, when I read about Scotland wanting to remain in the EU and be its vassal, its slave. None of the genes of William Wallace and his soldiers has survived to this time.
So much better to be slaves to London? At least the Europeans don’t hate them the way the English do.
yeah, I’ve seen trainspotting... The socialist welfare state has erased any capability of Scots taking care of themselves.
The people I know who are of Scottish ancestry are certain that their ancestors were part of the last of the best Scots-the ones who ended up here in the Carolinas after the Highland Clearances-and those who stayed in Scotland were wusses with no sense of adventure...
