Never Forgive, Never Forget

Well, I thought I would tread lightly on this one. So Scotland wants to become its own country. So says the NY Times. If they do does that mean that the Irish can send the Scots back from Northern Ireland and take that back as well? What of Wales? Not really that much there but what the heck. Then think of what that does to the English flag, just Saint George, the dragon guy.

As the Times states:

The Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond — head of the Scottish National Party, whose raison d’être centers on independence — has been cozying up to Rupert Murdoch and Donald J. Trump. There’s been much talk of an Ireland-style business-friendly environment. Before that Mr. Salmond’s model was Iceland. Imagine all the small nations of the world saying a collective prayer that Alex Salmond doesn’t mention them in a speech and jinx their economy. 

 Just think of how this concept could spread. Quebec could again get back in the play. Tax havens could become the wave of the future, creating a new nationalism. You do not really need Armies and the like, just a secure broadband connection with great encryption and lots of PO Boxes.

This could start a whole new blast of economic growth. They could sell citizenships, sell residences, namely your PO Box, and then have a great business. Then when the taxes in New York City explode in the next few years all those rich folks could move to say Aberdeen, or perhaps a better and nicer environment, especially if Spain fragments as well. I wonder what the tax rate is in the Vatican State? Could I get a PO Box in the Vatican's Post Office?
