Tornado Alley (PROG)

[PegnVA]

Scotland would risk a lot not only in trade but also finance if they vote to be independent of the UK - the Bank of Scotland has already said if the vote to secede succeeds they will move their headquarters from Edinburg to London. Scot soldiers would not remain in the UK army and I don't know how it would effect their pensions since they would no longer be part of the UK military.
I was surprised to learn 16-year-old Scots are eligible to vote on this crucial issue.

Other...this afternoon I caught part of the House debate on Obama's request for $$$ to arm/train foreign troops to fight ISIA - the Resolution calls for the U.S. military to vet those we will arm/train...Are we to believe the U.S. can vet foreign fighters and determine if they're with us or against us? Really? The more I hear about Pres Obama's plan, the more I don't like it.
I give Rep Charlie Rangel credit for calling for a "war tax" to pay for this latest adventure in the ME and since most Repub pols are in favor of another war, they'll favor paying for it - right? Rangel also called for "involuntary military service"...for years Rangel wanted to reinstate the "draft" - he just changed his language ever so slightly.
