The relation here, Mexico use to be what is centarl America, however different nations developed with diverse type of Governments, some at peace others at war, common language and similar customs. All they co-existing after the segmentation, yes.

Alaska, this is an interesting one, an ethic and diverse residents from that of USA. Language and the migration has been overwhelmed by Anglos, language ENGLISH, economically good, but Canada is doing good also perhaps better especially the treatment and preservation of the natives.

So What if, Puerto Rico is divided whereas a border line would be establish from the exact center of the MEGA puerto diagonally across (not a strait line)the cordillera central to the center of la Universidad de Mayaguez.

What side the Statehooters/PPD and the Independentista be assigned?

I venture to say we Independentista keep the Northern part keeping Culebra and Viequez and not Mona o Desecheo.

What do you think?

The northern part of the Island of Puerto Rico Independent? My God, conciencia my family would be furious!

Dividing Puerto Rico politically would definitely start a tug of war. It would take a lot of planning and control in the beginning, the people, (not only my family) would be in an uproar.

Eventually when things settle, we might have a situation similar to the US pre-civil war era. The North and the South both thinking they are better and capable of greatness both political and culturally. I say culturally because the culture of the statehood side will change. They will become more Americanize. They may even lose their language, unless of course they want to prove us wrong an put an added affort in teaching their children.

As they say, "All late about it!" jajajajaja!!!

If there were any doubt that I wasn't the former Patria_y_LaPava, then you would have to have an IQ of 2.3. (Not just you, anyone in general) jajaja. I made it so obvious; I wasn't trying to hide anything. Just look at my profile! jajaja If anyone read the conversations I had with Suki or Lorelei, you would know. Also, look what kind of flag I have on the signature. Same one used by my other account.

Though, I did have some fun with it.

Though, keep in mind, Patria_y_LaPava was my former account, which I had erased. Thus, I now only have one working account.

Anyway, I said further comments on it. Thus, you could see I was inferring I made comments on it before, but will bring forth some more later.

[i]Take care.

Se acuerdan de este tema...it looks as if it is a glimpst of what I said...here is one of the conditions:

WHAT IF.....

Failure, fear and social paranoia seeps into the very heart of every Rican political parties, social system and resident; worldly events drastically causes a subsets of massive occurrences directly affecting the Island of Puerto Rico and its political status. The occurrences causes the USA government to DIVIDE Puerto Rico.

Esto lo escribi hace ya un tiempo atras y aparentemente uno de los topico expuesto representa, aunque sea un poquito, lo que puede suceder en PR...Dios no lo quiera!

In my opinion, I don't think the USA is that stupid to divide our island.

First of all, dividing the island wouldn't do it, or the USA any good. Puerto Rico, under the ELA is a money-making machine to the USA, to allow one half of it to become independent could lead to the downfall of the ELA. What if that the independent part's, economy fails? (Which would be the most likely case if the island doesn't become independent as a whole, because the decision of which city and town and it's economic viability on the independent part is vital.) Then you will have thousands fleeing to the ELA side, (If that side was a state, then PR as a whole will become another Santo Domingo) disrupting the social and economic structure of that side.

If the independent PR side became successful, then the emigration will be vice versa, again disrupting the social and economic structure of the ELA side. These are the economic possibilities of splitting Puerto Rico.

Also, splitting an island that has about the same culture on all parts, could lead to great civil unrest and would disrupt the entire island, thus, again allowing PR to loose it's value to the USA.

So, in my opinion, if the USA wants to keep dominating Puerto Rico, especially under the ELA, then it won't ever allow Puerto Rico be split in two.
