    What you decide to do Nathan is entirely your choice. What those in the rest of the New World decide to do is also entirely their choice. What people decide to do in Scotland is entirely their choice too and in my experience, backed up by interesting observations from St Andrews, many in Scotland do not think the way you do. I am not saying its right or wrong for any of us, what I am saying in answering a very reasonable question and having a very interesting and civilised discussion that there are, whether we like it or not, two very distinct schools of thought over this. Surely it never hurts to be aware of differing opinions, after all it does help international understanding and does perhaps smooth international travel by being aware of differing views, even if we may wish for it to be otherwise.
