Re: Nationals?

Cosidering the fairly unusual nature of our relationship with P.R., I'd say it's a common mistake. I'd bet half the people in this country think Puerto Rico is a separate country. I wish it was either a state (Jump In) or independent (Jump Out), because, by and large, (IMHO) P.R. gets all the advantages of USA without the costs. 

IIRC, didn't statehood lose by a narrow margin last time it came up?

to LOL when the veteran newscaster read a story about Puerto Rican
Nationals being arrested at the airport trying to smuggle pot.  Are the
newswritters getting younger and less educated?  As for the newscaster,
If I hit something like that cold (always pre-read) I don't know how I
would recover from it either.  When did Puerto Rico gain it's
independence from the U-S?
