To Cloudancer & Jim, I will admit that I fell down on the job. But as a teenager becoming a US Citizen I can tell you that the  US electoral system is not adequately explained. Even after all these years I still don't understand the Electoral College, but have now decided that I will try again to make my voice heard.

If you have not gone through the naturalization process you have no right to put me down. It is very easy to be highminded if you have not experienced the reality. My thoughts are that if you were born in the US, the country was stuck with you. I was accepted.
