I must say I never thought that Puerto Rico could be turned down on aesthetic taste grounds. Would you care to admit Wazilla and Ms Palin to the Russian Federation, Palo?

Some people would consider anything over 60% a big majority. As hinted in an earlier post, congress technically holds all of the power in admitting a territory as a state whether or not PR becomes a state. The have absolute power over the issue and get to make the rules as each time the matter comes up. The referendum, although nice, really was never required as a technical legal issue. But the practical implications would be huge at this point. I get the impression there is no hurry to add other states. That might change now after this result. We will have to see. My guess is somebody will draft a bill at a minimum in the current legislature. Adding stars to flags has never been a big deal. And never been an obstacle toward admission. Many times there's been a little bit of a period when the numbers don't match up. Hell, there were even 15 stripes at one point. Historically (relatively recently) a second territory would be added. Sometimes it's to balance out the power in the number of seats in the senate. Last edited by Estreeter; November 7th, 2012 at 04:02 PM.. Reason: Removed Blog....Check Rules |

(Do you think she'd say something smart like "I can see Russia from Russia"?) I didn't know who or what Wazilla was until I googled it. Wiki says it's spelled Wasilla, and it used to be Russian with the name of Vasilij. But the US americanized it, and now it's Wasilla Sure, we can take it, why not? |

So the situation remains as confusing as ever. With a New Progressive Governor, I doubt that Puerto Rico will seek statehood. |

What would tide gates for New York like those on the Thames cost? Think of how many people would be put to work. Earthquake preparedness on the West Coast, and levys on the Mississippi would be the same. The Dutch built giant sea walls after their floods of 1953, so its very mature technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Works |
