The cynic speaks

Today's vote in the UK is properly known as a plebiscite.  Ambrose Bierce included a definition for that in his Devil's Dictionary:
PLEBISCITE, n. A popular vote to ascertain the will of the sovereign.
I guess that we'll know soon.

    SO the people of the U.K. have enough freedom to decide by vote what larger organization they want to belong to. There's an irony here so large that we should go back and just apologize to Jefferson Davis.
