-------Original Message------- From: Dan Minette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But, there are indeed benefits in becoming a state, and statehood may pass the next election. It doesn't take a revolution; it just takes voting yes. Congress has to approve statehood, but it has indicated a willingness to do this after a yes vote in the past, and I don't see this as a big hurdle. *********************************
BTW, I'd just like to point out, that the quintessential example of Anti-Americanism is criticism of America's treatment of Puerto Rico. Just to review, the US regularly lets the Puerto Rican vote on their status, and they have chosen the status quo every time. I think the biases that would lead one to critcize the US's handling of this are clear. JDG _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
