Sorry, not convienced. It isn't practically a state, they were offered state-hood a few years ago, v**ed it down. They don't want to be a state so as for me they can deal with their own crap without any more of my tax dollars.

No, they're not technically a state, but it doesn't alter the fact that the US government holds sway and that they are part of the same debt-based monetary-system that we are. Ideally this should be a catalyst for an honest reflection on the real problems with the present currency-regime, but of course it isn't. If we actually let PR "deal with their own crap" in the first place they probably wouldn't be in this mess. We here in the "real" States are, at root, in the same predicament: odious debt that cannot be paid back, for it was never meant to be.
