Thinking on it a bit, I think I now know where I stand. I don't want either statehood or complete independence. I would prefer something like teh Compact of Free Association that several small states in the Pacific have with the USA. I'm afraid if we become a state, we will lose our sense of national identity. On the other hand, if we become independent, I'm afraid all the sacrifice and good done for the US by Puerto Ricans will be forgotten by both sides. *shrugs*
