So I'm watching the "America" number from West Side Story on YouTube. And I suddenly am struck by something. The entire song is pointless. Puerto Rico IS part of the USA. Has been for quite some time. Its just a part that hasn't decided whether or not to become a state or not. I mean as far as I can recall it meets EVERY requirement for statehood except for formally deciding to become one...
