<div id="ygrps-yiv-1404495610">interesting tho i too should point out for whomever is interested in pointing things out <br/>
that i have already pointed out once today that the original crude try that i made 4 years <br/>
ago in message 2240 could stand some minor updating & corrections today<br/>
with the benefit of the hindsight of the intervening 4 years of research<br/>
none of which however <br/>
i should point out with added emphasis now <br/>
affects in any way the point i was making earlier today <br/>
about the external territories of the united states<br/>

&gt; &gt; this of course is the conventional list found in standard reference sources<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; but in reality the list of actually external sovereign territories of the usa <br/>
&gt; &gt; is much longer<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; & i mean not even counting any of the silly military or diplomatic or <br/>
&gt; &gt; ceremonial or other<br/>
&gt; &gt; miscellaneous parcels of nonsovereign or semisovereign real estate properties <br/>
&gt; &gt; &or<br/>
&gt; &gt; leaseholds that people are so fond of discovering & reporting & discussing as <br/>
&gt; &gt; if they really<br/>
&gt; &gt; counted<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; for tho it could stand some minor updating & corrections<br/>

&gt; &gt; ultimately identifies as many as 52 noncontiguous territories of the usa<br/>
&gt; &gt; all presumably still extant & distinct sovereign spaces<br/>
&gt; &gt; unless i am mistaken<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; & while several of these disjunct spaces are legal parts of the 50 united <br/>
&gt; &gt; states per se<br/>
&gt; &gt; & thus might not be considered external despite their territorial <br/>
&gt; &gt; disconnection<br/>
&gt; &gt; nevertheless roughly 3 dozens of these territories are still fully external to <br/>
&gt; &gt; the usa as such </span></blockquote></div>
