The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Where America's Day Begins

I have not been paying attention, but is there a move afoot to change the status of Guam?  Guam is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States, obtained from Spain in 1898, as part of the settlement of the Spanish American War.

Guam is not like Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth within the United States. Per the Wikipedia article linked above, there is talk of changing the status of the island, usually within the context of moving into a closer relationship with the US.

But, the Guamanian shadow Representative to the US Congress, has introduced legislation to:
... authorize the Secretary of the Interior to extend grants and other assistance to facilitate a political status public education program for the people of Guam.
If we change the status of Guam, will re readdress the status of Puerto Rico?  Other US territories?  Or is this all about job creation?

Just wondering.

I didn't know they weren't a Commonwealth.  Making them part of Hawaii seems a stretch (distance wise) so I would go for the Commonwealth option.

But, for sure, Guam is Good
