#The Proportional Electral College is needed.
This vote is formal and ceremonial, the real vote was already over. They say because in order to respect the will or decision of each state, this system exists. But obviously the role of this system is rather ambiguous. Before starting debating whether this system is appropriate, Winner-take-all system is questionable. Since it needs 3/4th of all the states Yeah, it is practically impossible to amend the Constitution only for this system, propotional representation for the numbers of the electral college should be considered to be the next better solution.
#Imagine
Obviously I'm not a white. If I lived in your country, definitely I would belong to the minority. But it's a sad thing if you have to define American people according to their race or origin of their ancestors even under the statistical figures. In order to be a matured country, your country has got lots of tasks to overcome.
I am 43 years old and still bachelor- I just repeated married and divorced several times and my first love in America was a black cute girl. After I came back from America I married a Spanish girl who's father was Taiwanese Chinese. She was able to speak Spanish and English, not Chinese, not at all Japanese. All our communication was done in English. Ten years have passed, again my current girl friend is African girl. Of course we communicate in English. It was about 12 years ago that I asked one pretty sorority girl who had been working in a language school, her complexion was as white as snow, her eyes were as clean as blue sky, her face was as pretty as Julia Roberts. We had a drive. I stopped a car at the beach and tried to kiss her. She said Nooooo. The word she utterred was one of the strongest voices I'd ever heard. I mean I just enjoy having memory with various girls beyond their nationalities. For me their nationality means less important than their personality and characters. Because I communicated with all of them in one common language, I didn't have to feel differences any longer. So I believe if we continue to particular about their nationality before their personality, we might lose sight of what is most important for us - to find a friend or girlfriend beyond other than personality. -For all I say, I still love that sorority girl.

What's this all about? Are you a musician, right? I love Robert Schumann's piano concerto No.54 most. Besides Chopin's piano sonata No.2, piano concerto No.1, Liszt's Mephisto Waltz, and Hungarian Rapsody. Bach's chaconne.(Bussoni's piano arrange)
Wagner's wife Cosima was an illegitimate daughter of Liszt, so Wagner and Liszt once composed and arranged together, its one of fine examples was Tanhauser in piano.
# Casting suspicious eyes
International aid should be done without being partial to any particular religion, belief, political system. In Bam's earthquake case in Iran, in the case of North Korean train accident too, usually the help had been accepted beyond such restrictions. Banda ache is so isolated from the central region that they are just even suspicious about what their central government is about to do in favour of them, let alone what Americans intend to do from overseas.
#It's a war in peacetime
Election is a war in peacetime. Over the four years of the Republican Administration, many people who have a say to the administration need to discharge their political opinion, and some reflect their view on the Republican candidate, while others reflect theirs on the Democratic candidate. During the campaign, we could at least imagined having another administration, but in reality we had the same administration, but still the election campaign forms an essential part of our democratic society.
If we couldn't have a presidential election once in four years, we would be so uncertain what would have become of the U.S.A. But because at least we participated in the most important decision making process of this country, we can accept the result, and we can go back to business, I mean normal life.
Election seems to be wasting lots of time and money, but unless doing so we've got to pay more than just the cost of election in the future.
#Reality
You are right, absolutely right. That's what I wanted to hear from the voices of Americans, well said.
As to UN, I used to write about my previous JE -A recognition of History -that UN is one of the most intricate institutes America ever had or something. Keep it firmly bear it in our mind that the UN is located in New York, not in the middle of the ocean. Therefore we can even consider the UN is one of the institutes of US political powers.
#Theaching Positions Available
Why not come to Japan. There are many teaching positions for foreigners. Their only condition is you have the first college degree ( BA ) in any course. I used to be a teacher of social studies, too.
I spent both in domestic college and in US, then I found some similarities in students both in Japan and in the US (interested in part-time job, girls, leisure, but not in study), but the basic difference is in Japan, because entrance examination is very difficult, they work hard before going to college. But once admitted to the school, they can graduate almost automatically after 4 years. Some students never go to class for even 1 time but take a regular exam, then they can get a degree.
In US case, especially their post graduate school education( vocational education, law school, business school etc. ) is great. And their student also work very hard. So more and more good students here eager to learn in the US.
Yeah, yeah, when it comes to teaching, temperament is important. Especially in my case, I didn't like to REPEAT -repeat. I was unable to bear 5 times same thing in a day. Besides I was always ridiculed by a wicked student that I even repeat the same joke again in a different classroom.
But anyway, if you are interested, please let me know. Basically all my surroundings are a bundle of 'foreign' teachers.
#Self-Reliance
We always have to think about what we can do for the sake of ourselves. As far as we expect someone to act something for our sake, nothing's likely to occur.
