Puerto Rico became a colony of the United States in December of 1898, and it is still a colony over 100 years later. In December of 1998, a status plebiscite was held in which the voters of the island were asked to vote for their status preference. Four alternatives were offered: statehood, commonwealth, independence or free association. More than 50% of the voters selected the fifth column which was 'none of the above.' The author discusses all aspects of current U.S. Puerto Rican relations and suggests a solution for the endless debate about the future of the island.
