Anything else is just froth and sentimental nonsense. Before I say too much, I will make no further comment and withdraw from this thread.
Jock, I never mentioned anything to do with independence - or "independance". You stated what you consider yourself and I stated what I considered myself. I only did this to make a small joke out of the fact that we are all human!
I do not like to mention politics on a forum that does not condone it and I stayed as clear from it as possible on this thread. The fact that you have very much generalized what I have said and twisted it to your own satisfaction shows me that you are desperate to condemn those who do not share your opinion of these matters.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
