when I was a kid in grade school during the mid-1960's, "My Weekly Reader" had a front page story about a vote to be held in Puerto Rico, and voters had three choices, petition for statehood, being an independent nation, or remaining in the present commonwealth status. The latter choice won.

Maybe it's time for another vote.
