Bueno, I think that we should NOT become a state. However, we cannot afford to become independent. As much as i may hate the idea of being associated with the US, we would never survive as an independent state. they have stripped us of everything that would have helped us survive. As a commonwealth, we still have a say so to some extent. And it feels wonderful to be able to go to a basketball game out there and hear our BEAUTIFUL anthem in that wonderful language. and though it is true we have been already robbed of most of our heritage that being the practices of the Taino Indian we have become assimilated people of three different cultures and as we stand today defined as puertorriquenos we are a reflection of our hertiage, struggles and all. So to become a state as part of the US or any other country for that matter would be robbing ourselves of our own.
