BTW, in my former post to you, I sort of gave you the good news. It involved educating you to a certain extent, which is good because all education is GOOD. And of course, I was grateful for you being clear and distinct which I always commend because I like concepts and not foggy notions.

However, on the other side of the coin,i.e. the bad news if you will, let me tell you one thing about your story, and I will do it by referring to one of our old Boricuas who in reply to someone that was trying to get him to change his way of life answered with a statement which counter-arrests your statement quoted above. He said:

"UUujuuu! A OTRO PERRO CON ESE HUESO!

In short, your statehoodism with all its reforms WILL NOT PREVAIL IN PUERTO RICO!

Eddier1,

Vieja andes de bochinche otra ves, tu no te cansas verdad. Como dije antes y te lo vuelvo a repetir para que no te equivoques. Nunca e negado que en los EEUU no haya programas socialistas es lo sabe todo mundo o lo deben saber. Muchos de estos programas son parte del problema que hay en Puerto Rico como en muchas partes del mundo ya que muchos en ves de querer trabajar estan en lo que me pueden dar. Tu por ejemplo, tu no estas en los EEUU abogando para la independencia esta ahi por que recibes mas dinero mas ayuda, etc. Pero te la pasas criticando el que quiere lo mismo que tu tienes. Sabes si no perdieras tanto el tiempo podria ser que pudieras escribir muy bien un libro de ficcion, especialmente de tu vida. Vive y sonrie que haci me la paso yo pero sobrio...

To TainaChuli

As you know, I to believe in a free PR.
But we must think of new way to reach the
Freedom. One of my new topics shows one way.
To find a way to give PR her freedom while
Holding on to our citizenship. As you know,
This is a big thing in PR. Puerto Rico don't
Want to lose it. So, don't stop and do come
back with new ideas to help our beautiful Puerto Rico or should it be, Our beautiful free democratic republic Puerto Rico

EddieR,

Who said we would change our way of life?
You are the one adovcating an economic structure that is radically different from what we know right now. I think it is you the one who will be told "A OTRO PERRO..."
We would never allow socialism to become a reality in Puerto Rico. And if someone ever dares to there will be a civil war.
I hope that never happens but if people are shoved down their throats any change that may affect them whether that is statehood or independence, there will be grave consequences. Remember that statehood or independence should be reached by a voting super majority. If not, problems will occur.

Why you did Virgil who in one of your previous posts said that we needed a revolution; yes you did use that word even though later I corrected you and told you that the changes you wanted for the Boricuas were really REFORMS OF THE P.N.P and not a real revolution.

Also you implied as much in another post of yours which I quote from when you said:

Take care, you seem to be getting a bit forgetful about what you post in this forum. Afterall, all we know about you is what you post in the cyberworld, and we evaluate who and what you are by what you write. Sure you can "echarte coba" in the non-virtual world and refer to your other life as a structural engineer and the universities you went to, etc., but in the final analysis, and this goes for all of us, you are what you write, and nothing more.

Have a Nice Day,

As far as I could see the PNP is done with.
They have lost the peoples hope and in the
end they destroy them self. I could hardly wait for the up coming election. It would be something to see.

EddieR,

I did said the only thing that could change the attitude of many PuertoRicans towards life and responsibility would require a revolution, IF and only IF we decided to vote for independence. I did not said that last part explicitly becuase I was talking to Taina Chulita and her ideas on a free Puerto Rico.

Now you get it?

PS. Mentioning that I am a Structural Engineer, was not to brag. I did it becuase I wanted to dramatize the fact that as me, many estadistas are hard working and not welfare and dependency lovers as many people think.

Thanks.
