Shack, I agree with a lot of that but the one thing which IS gonna happen is that - barring the end of the world etc -a Scottish independence referendum WILL be held in a little over two years' time.
You may be right that independence isnt gonna happen, but in so saying, we are doing little more than trying to predict the result of a horse race two years in advance.
I accept that there is already huge irritation with the issue, and that many of us will be even more sick of it come 2014.
There is also a lot of guff around, as you rightly say. All the more reason, I think, for developing a clearer picture before people go to the polls. This takes time. A few months ago there was very little information around as to what form a Scottish defence force might take, and now there is - some.
If this forum can't manage the occasional bit of rational discussion amongst the banter, who can?
