I guess I need one of these evangelists to explain the "it's nothing personal" thing to me. Because frankly I can't imagine a single thing more personal than denying my family rights.

Puerto Rico unions plan strike to protest layoffs
AP | JILL LASTER | Posted 10.14.2009 | Home
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Labor unions are calling for an island-wide strike and a march near the capital on Thursday to protest government layoffs in Puerto Rico, where more than 20,000 public employees have been dismissed as the island struggles to pull out of a three-year recession.
At least 100,000 protesters are expected to converge on Plaza las Americas, the Caribbean's largest shopping center, in the biggest of several demonstrations across the U.S. territory, according to organizers.
"A huge mass of people will paralyze the country," said Juan Vera, a spokesman for the coalition All of Puerto Rico for Puerto Rico.
The protests are a response to the layoffs ordered this year by Gov. Luis Fortuno to help close a $3.2 billion deficit. The government announced last month that nearly 17,000 people will be dismissed in the latest round of cuts.
The territory has a jobless rate of 15 percent – higher than any U.S. state – and analysts say it is certain to rise once the layoffs take effect in November.

Puerto Rico police investigate killings of 3 teens
AP | Posted 09.30.2009 | Home
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Police in Puerto Rico say three teenage boys have been found shot to death on a basketball court in a northern coastal town near the U.S. territory's capital.
Spokeswoman Maria del Pilar Bon says the boys have not been identified but appear to range in age from 15 to 16.
Del Pilar says the boys were slain Wednesday afternoon in Loiza. The town lies just east of San Juan.
Police say 660 homicides have been reported this year in Puerto Rico, 56 more than in the same period last year.

The main argument against Puerto Rican statehood is taxation. Except for DC, it has been the policy of the federal government that there be no taxation without representation, so Puerto Ricans don't pay income tax.
