To pretend to continue a fruitless and pointless discussion by including independence or free association in a self-determination process, is a mockery of the democratic vote of Puerto Ricans.
We Puerto Ricans are not victims; we have borne the price of freedom in every war from World War One to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There should be no territories in this country. We need to move this issue forward one way or another.
This must also be taken together with the fact that Puerto Ricans have never favored independence.
