I fail to see how this is a "Woo hoo!" moment.

It also wasn't a huge margin. 45% (mostly the young people) voting in favor of Independence, is pretty damn significant, and you can be sure this will come up again in the future. There is certainly an argument to be made that Scotland could potentially be better off on it's own, and there are benefits to "building your own country". But regardless, I would hardly say it was any kind of landslide defeat, and there is nothing whatsoever wrong with people wanting to have an independent, not dependent country.

When the older, more conservative generations die off, and the more educated, more open minded youth grow up and take over, I am almost certain you will eventually see things like an independent Scotland and a unified Ireland, etc.
