Statehood is a non-issue, I agree, but independence could come about if We are (a) too huge a financial drag or (b) too much of an embarrassment to the U.S. of part of A., neither of which is a path I want Us to tread.<br /><br />And Insider, Our milk is good enough to keep Us in the stable, but not enough to give Us Our own stable.
