Who are the "real" Americans?
Got an interesting reply to a point I made in another thread.
I thank that SW member for bringing up the point.
I am paraphrasing but he doesn't want to get rid of the electoral college and go for a straight popular vote, as he feels candidates would concentrate on large metropolitan areas. As opposed to small metropolitan areas (LOL). The reasons he gives is that people in these areas have forgotten the frontier spirit that perhaps he feels made America great. I'm pretty sure that somebody working in Wall Street (NY) or in Hollywood (CA) would take issue with that. They could say, if they were successful of course, that they were bringing in the $$$$$ that make America great. Do they really need to be removing timber and boulders to be a "real" American?
