I agree Joey and, ironically, I agree because Scotland has for so long been British. And Britain for over half a century has been ruled with fear and pessimism. On the whole, as a population, we are sadly fearful and pessimistic people. That's what will win the day in that booth - when it comes down to a vote fuelled by hope Vs a vote fuelled by fear... fear will win every time. "Better Together" knows this, and it's why they've based almost their entire campaign on scare tactics. There's been a very vocal criticism of that tactic and a rejection of it has been reflected in the polls BUT, when it comes down to it, the silent majority will be influenced by it when it's just them, alone, with a pen and a voting slip.
