The boat has sailed on rational balanced thinking on this issue.
I was talking to a Scottish Yes voting friend of mine and I asked him how he would feel if they lost the vote and he found himself a minority in the country that he tells me he and his fellow Yes voters truly represent - the peoples voice! I pointed out that the polls are showing the race roughly at 50/50% and if anything it's a couple of % towards the No vote.
He got angry, wouldn't answer the question, told me the REAL figure stands at something like 70/30% yes and of course blaimed media bias and bullying.
Admittedly that's a pretty extreme example of head in the sand, but my point is I think the vote is so close to happening now that anyone who has decided is not going to change their minds now. They're just too emotionally charged.
Which means it's all coming down to the undecideds.
I really hope that means a No vote, after all if the Yes campaign hasn't provided the answers they need to make such a huge step thus far, so they aren't going to provide them in the next couple of days. Even today Salmond is still just crapping on like a broken record about scaremongering and bullying instead of the facts the undecided surely desire.
