Frankly, I completely agree with you. The situation in Puerto Rico is worse than despicable. The United States took it over during the Spanish American War and since then has maintained this sort of perverse colonial legal limbo for 100 years. Puerto Ricans cant vote, nor can they be Independent. I am curious, and since you seem to know quite a lot about the situation there- do you have any Idea why the US refuses so adamantly to let Puerto Ricans be free and grant them independence?
