Carlos T Mock
He was happy about how easy it was to drive around the island. It reminded him of the days before Operation Bootstrap when the roads were safe and there were no car jacking or road rage. Even his wife had started enjoying driving again!

He was also happy that Haliburton had decided to leave Puerto Rico for good. They were too expensive and all they ever did was pollute the natural beauty of the Island. Besides, there was too much overcrowding. El presidente wanted to destroy the excess housing that was not needed anymore and plant trees.

Finally, he is happy because now he has given a new identity to all those poor souls who have been wandering around the USA and the rest of the world not knowing what a Puerto Rican was. He was proud because he had given his people a home and their identity back.
