I weep for Scotland

I weep for Scotland. The Presbyterians of the 17th century anticipated Locke's doctrine of political compact by a generation or so; their Catholic foes gave us royal absolutism. Yes, I too am a "God Bless King Billy" Protestant.

As for the IRA, they've been pals with every enemy of Western civilization from Hitler to Muamar Qaddafi and Yuri Andropov.
