Yeah,, okay. Gracefully accept the things one cannot change :0). I do want
to point out (despite the political 'clap-trap' you will hear) that the
United States is a Republic and NOT a democracy - the president (through
concerns by our founding fathers that the general populace wasn't bright
enough to make an informed vote ((they could still be right on this one
grin)) and also a concern by the less populous states that they would not
have an adequate voice ((even though more populous states get more
electors - go figure)) is determined by the members of the electoral
college, not by popular vote (which would make us a democracy).

Nothing to do about it now,,, you're right hopefully the fatherland,,, oops
I mean homeland security doesn't get any more out of hand... So, onward
and upward!
