But at what point do you stop? Had Scotland become independent, you would have then seen the centuries old divisions between Scots start to raise its head..Lowlanders v Highlanders...The Islanders v the mainland, not to mention the whole Clan thing...
Sometimes folks have to get past events from 150 years ago and concentrate on making things better in the present..
At what point does it even need to stop? Computers and the internet make decentralization possible today that could not have been dreamed of in centuries past. And wars have gone from small inter-tribal affairs, or the conflicts of small states, to the nightmares of the 20th Century where somewhere north of at least 150 million people were directly slaughtered by states and/or in gigantic wars between all powerful nation states.
Tell me again, the benefits of this infatuation with gigantic centralized states?
