Yeah but you dont leave the country if you go to Puerto Rico, though they make u go through customs cause u can get anything from PR. It would be stupid for PR to revolt if anything they should become a state, it would not only get them pretty far out of the economy situation they are in, but they would become a poltically powerful state with at least 12 electorial votes. Also factor in that they wouldn't have to pay as much as taxes, and it sounds like a sweet deal. Problem is, not all PRs realize this. *shrug*

-shrugs-
i honestly dont know anything about it. american politics dont really interest me that much.
puerto rico itself is a tourist trap, the cliffs are really pretty though. there was like 200 people flying kites in this park along the edge of the cliff by the sea. it was beautiful.
that and the liquor stands out on the street biggrin
