It's Spring --

Time for Secession
....................................................................................................................................

As I have noted so many times, I am not the first American to be fascinated by Spain. And this spring is not disappointing. While the sounds of the Virgen de la Macarena may have died down a bit -- Catalonia tried to ban bullfighting -- the trumpet has been replaced the booming drones of Highland war pipes. It seems the Campbells are coming.

"The Tyrants" in Madrid -- at least that is how the Catalonians fell about them -- have overturned Catalonia's banning of bullfighting as unconstitutional.

• The Constitutional Court of Spain overturned a ban against bullfighting on Thursday that had been approved by lawmakers in Catalonia six years ago, a decision that simultaneously outraged separatists in the region and animal activists.
  .
  The court voted 8 to 3 against the Catalan ban, finding that lawmakers from the region could not prohibit a practice that the justices said was enshrined in the cultural patrimony of the Spanish state. -- New York Times, Oct 20, 2016

  They want their own flavor of Freedom...
  not what someone else thinks is best for them.
