I'll see your "I'm a princess, rescue me" and raise you a "I'll do whatever it takes to make others believe that I am (collectively, we are) no longer poor."

Which is kind of hard to defend (comprehend) in light of news like: http://www.elnuevodia.com/XStatic/endi/template/content.aspx?se=nota&id=597721. Three times higher!!!

Thank you, Skai. Hope your time on My Island is less hectic than the parking situation...

Peace Gil -

I am a non-puertorican recently moved here from the states. I am from our fabulous neighbors to the east - the virgin islands...So similar the problems. Unfortunately, PR has 4 mil people here, the VI has 100,000 amoungst 3 islands...big difference

Everything you write of, IMHO, is exactly on point. I find the government and "most of" the population big on assuming folks are stupid and dont think.

The other day I went to the hospital here and had to retrieve a parking ticket to get into the emergency room parking lot. When we left, I told the ticket teller, I had no cash, and presented her with my Visa for the $3 parking fee. She said they dont take cards, I HAVE to pay in cash.....

Long story short....By the time I finished arguing my point and she let me go, it dawned on me that I am being charged to go into the emergency room where anyone can enter regardless if they have money or not, or insurance or not. Ironic! No, they (here) just dont think people will think at all.

I am a fan!

Actually, I could say "Yep, those are My readers," but I'm afraid The Sports Guy would haul Me up in front of Blogger's Court and remove My Google AdWord privileges...

Thanks for dropping by. I wish it had been with something more positive on My side, but such is life.

Gil, I have nothing but admiration for your work....

Gil,

I have nothing but admiration for your work. I may hate the truth but I can't deny it.

So sad that you can't comeback to something in the comments section saying "Yep, those are my readers!" So sad that puertorricans barely know what blogs are. A blog? In English? Certainly not for the puertorrican masses.

"...not that far off..."?!?! Wait a minute. Hold ...

"...not that far off..."?!?!

Wait a minute. Hold on. I have to lie down for a moment...

Okay, I can wrap My mind around that. Thank you. I hope I make it past--shudder--"not that far off".

Great post! I don't share your point of view on so...

Great post! I don't share your point of view on some issues but excellent post nonetheless. Your claims as Puerto Rico's best blog is not that far off, keep up the good work.
