  • May 1st 2010 is set for the start of my journey across the Last Colony. A journey of self discovery, a challenge of huge proportions for me and hopefully an experience to rival any before. I dare say with the ups and downs of the intended journey, my mood will occasionally drift towards more serious subjects of discussion. I hope not to bore you too much with them, but I do believe if we don't address many issues that confront us today, we are just pilling up the cost for those who follow!

The Last Colony

By Duncan on Sep 25, 2009 | In Independence, Big Thoughts | Send feedback »

I often wonder, often several times a day, why we as a people prefer to be without 'Nationhood'. Has our spirit been so undermined that none but a few can see the guiding light cast from the beacon of independence? I've never understood how a people with such a great & fearsome history cower at the prospect of self rule, a status that most self respecting peoples have aspired to! It disturbs me daily. Maybe this trip, the fresh highland air, the solitude, the space to think and talk with you, my blogger friends, will resolve some of that angst! Is it to late for the Last Colony, can it ever be recovered from the grips of globalisation and the Wall street agenda .... ?
