I'm tryin'....

It eludes me.

Peter,

Congrats on your Naturalization 2 years ago and the opportunity to vote in this election. I agree that the choices are, well, they could be better.

I remember when I went to the Fed building in LA to be interviewed by a very kind man who asked a few questions and told me "that I'd be a US citizen very soon". I was in 3rd grade at the time, but I felt even at that age that this was something really cool. Later that day, I yelled out to my classmates that "I am an American!" In retrospect, it is a huge deal as I've travelled quite a bit throughout the world and realize that this country is truly the best country in the world. On an other note, that is why my horns get really raised and pointed when I hear native born Americans rip America for even the little of little things. Even in the worst times, we have it so much better in terms of government and redress should the govt fail us.

Anyways, good luck and I hope you make a choice that you're comfortable with
