Moving forward in Scotland  
    Commentary by Jeff Burgar    for South Peace News  
    On a trip to Scotland a few years back, I found people    friendly and weather fantastic.  
    Scotland is a land of socialism. Rampant and wild socialism.    Few people work. They don't have to. Every level of government    provides. Money for groceries. Almost free houses. Free    medical. Cheap booze.  
    The best life is lived by local producers. With government    support, farmers make darn good livings pretending to work 20    acres, and still be first in line at the local pub when    afternoon draws to an end.  
    It's not quite paradise. Most days the weather is more    Newfoundlandish but wetter, foggier and colder.  
    Worse, food is horrible. Scottish cuisine simply doesn't exist.    There might be truth that Angus cattle, which originated in    Scotland, produce a superior beef product. Maybe. Chains like    Harvey's and McDonald's promote their Angus hamburgers. Many    North American joints brag up their Angus steaks.  
    The truth is, this meat is all from herds in Canada or the    States. Try to find a quality beef product in Scotland.  
    Better yet, try to find a quality cooked protein product such    as pork, lamb, chicken, fish or beef. Darn near impossible.  
    Fish and chips? Horrible, horrible, horrible!
