The ancient Chamorro people also didn't overfish areas to extinction or dump trash. What I'm saying is that thinking about what we're doing culturally (like overfishing) and industrially (nothing) will affect Guam's future. Being angry at the military doesn't fix our biggest problems such as where to build the new JFK or how to keep skilled workers and managers on island.

By economic development, I did not mean short-term influx of money like a military build up. For example, Guam spent a lot of time and effort (decades and thought out planning) developing its tourism industry. The people of Guam could spend time and effort building up a different industry. I do not know what is ideal, perhaps something utilizing our U.S. outpost location to get involved in more importing/exporting with Asia. Seek independence after we can support ourselves

No. There is no way that we will become a state. Was statehood the best option for the Native Hawaiians? I don't think so. There is NO way that we can become a state. Commonwealth, so like the CNMI. Guam had its chance to join their brothers and sisters in Saipan, TInian and Rota, in the commonwealth but chose against it. Would it make sense to have two separate commonwealth in the same archipelago?

Hmm...I wonder how our ancestors lived without any infrastructure, healthcare, technology, etc. I know we don't live anywhere near that, nor do I think we will ever go back to that. What you are telling me is that whichever option that brings the most money, is the best option for Guam. I guess the military build-up is our salvation then. Oh wait, most of that money will be spent on the military base, not the community.

I do not look down on the people of other Micronesian Islands. However, I do not envy their economic situation, healthcare, or the extent of their infrastructure. Pride is great, but Guam's future should not be determined by anger towards injustice inflicted on us by the United States Government. Instead what's best for Guam's future--both culturally and economically should guide our future because economy brings roads, healthcare, and everything else.

I believe strongly the people of Guam have the right to choose their relationship with the U.S. In 2001, when I was in high school, I gave a presentation on the U.N. mandate for non-self-governing territories to choose their association and I am aware of this injustice. Statehood would be ideal, but could only potentially occur if Guam was grouped with U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, & the Marshall islands, which isn't ideal. Commonwealth would be acceptable.
