Free Scotland to become 51st State Next?

If the Scots vote to be free in the independence vote tomorrow, taking control of their natural resource wealth, one must wonder if they will petition to become a territory of the United States and then a U.S. State next? There is a certain blingy zinginess about Scotland and single malt scotch as as American. For one thing Scotland can have its own vote in the U.N. before it joins the U.S.A. and seek a position on the Security Council where it can press for better anti-oil spill laws. As an American state it can at least for a while ban homosexual marriage that Britain forced upon them. The fine print though would exclude 18 U.S. states where Federal District Courts have rather forced homosexual marriage upon the people.

It is possible that after the divorce with England that Scotland will ask for foreign banks to move in and replace those that fled to the Thames for comfort and royal security blankets. I recommend that they avoid any banks without a certain percent of real assets versus loans. maybe the Scots will seek union with Denmark because of their fine cheeses or  Germany because of black forest hams. If I were a Scot myself I think I would look for a partnership with a good potato-producing country and have a free trade agreement in place right away.
