The future of Puerto Rico

A sort of interesting e-mail popped up on my screen a little while ago. It was from a group that wanted us to know that on June 12, the Decolonization Committee of the United Nations looked into the matter of a certain place, as "there is tremendous and lasting interest in the case of Puerto Rico and its political status." According to the e-mail, Cuba and Venezuela sponsored a revolution calling for an end to the American colonialization of Puerto Rico.

Draw your own conclusions. If you have any, I'd like to hear them.

As for me, it's, uh, nice that our friends in Cuba and Venezuela are looking out for their neighbors totally free of any agenda regarding the United States in general.
