<div id="ygrps-yiv-1486448746">I never assumed that a dominion in the commonwealth<br/>
was anything besides an independent country.  Nor did<br/>
I assume any of the commonwealths was anything besides<br/>
a state.  My point was actually opposing that idea. <br/>
What I said was that if we go into semantics a little<br/>
too much without actually looking at the practical<br/>
implications, we lose sight of what is actually the<br/>
case.  We can argue if we dig too deep into the<br/>
semantics that the dominions are not really countries<br/>
and commonwealths are not states and Ellis Island<br/>
doesn&#39;t have a state boundary.  BUT for all intents<br/>
and purposes, they are just what they are.<br/>

PS If I was actually seriously arguing the poing, do<br/>
you think I would have used a word such as MANY  <br/>
