Polls close at 10 PM BST (5:00 EST)
quote:
People in Scotland are voting on whether the country should stay in the UK or become an independent nation.
Voters will answer "Yes" or "No" to the referendum question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
With 4,285,323 people - 97% of the electorate - registered to vote, it is expected to be the busiest day in Scottish electoral history.
Votes will be cast at 5,579 polling stations until 22:00 on Thursday. The result is expected on Friday morning.
Strict rules mean the BBC - in common with other broadcasters - is not allowed to report details of campaigning until after the polls close.

IMO, yes.
If it fails, though, I hope it leads to the end of "Flower of Scotland." Then at least some good can come from it.

Scotland could be a very wealthy country if independent. Lots of oil reserves off their coasts.

Like Mencken said, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Yeah, a government not out of control; what was I thinking. What is your reason for such a high percentage of registrered voters.

They just interviewed a dumb Scottish woman on TV. She said "I don't like that you only have two choices... 'yes' or 'no.' I'd like some other options."
