Quite right ElM. <These are not Puerto Ricans. You need to see then in S. Juan. > Many Americans like to be hyphenated as in Irish-American, Polish-American, Indian-American, Native-American, African-American. But as you say, they are not real. Put the average African-American in Congo with a machete and see how they go - not very well at all. The hyphenation is a pretense. But they seem to believe they are different. You are certainly right that going to places gives much added perspective, but it's not essential to visit to get a reasonable grasp of plenty of information, such as GDP per person and what means in terms of average living, especially when a click of the mouse can take us there these days. You don't need to be a pig or live in a sty to understand them and you don't need to be an Indian or live in India to understand them. Too many politicians want to go traveling first class on the taxpayer's account to do fact finding. I could tell them more facts without leaving a couch and without spending a dollar. Mqurice
