Ah...You misinterpreted my post. No envy, at all. Certainly some admiration for great places to live. You sometimes mistake tongue in cheek argot with something else entirely. Rest assured. I have nothing against the Americans owning land. I still think you should buy it. It would make you feel better. :-) I didn't need the Falklands, Virgin Islands lesson, btw! I was speaking rhetorically when I said "They are independent but a dependency of the UK (if that makes any sense)!" I used the exclamation mark to speak to the curious nuances in the English language. "WTH business of yours is the status of Puerto Rico, anyway? You're Canadian. You plan on taking it from the US?" No. My interest in the status is for personal knowledge and to hopefully argue and discuss in an informed manner. I am not planning to live on an Island. I would like to spend winters in Vegas. I would like a community with theatre, arts, sports teams, fantastic flight connections to anywhere. Islands just don't have it. Florida would be nice in many ways but who wants to live a foot or two above sea level. "Since you appear to be unaware of it, the US has no law against Americans owning land in a foreign country" Sorry, I thought they could only own land in Topeka! "Maybe you ought to try some capitalism up there" We do. You fellas pay damn good when you all come down to wrestle a fish to death! We ain't never refused your money yet, have we?! If we hand you back your money you'll have cause to suspect socialism. In the meantime remember WW! and who controlled the skies! Don't be uppity!
