Many of us Yes voters in Scotland felt that if we seceded then we'd have been able to bring about change quicker which we hoped would serve as a catalyst for the rest of the UK. One way to explain this was, as they say in airplane safety videos, put on your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else. So, not turning our backs on the rest of the family but helping ourselves so that we could be better able to help everyone else.

Many who voted Yes had no idea how quickly the economic complexity, damage, and harm would have been created. Too many assumed economic activity would have continued unabated. Too many assumptions without first learning how deeply economic activity affects virtually all other parts of life.

So what would by have called the new currency? A Gall in honor of emotional reasoning that required it?
