10. tyranny of the majority??

I was under the impression that this was a democracy and thats why we the people vote. This electoral college we have in place is a very outdated and unfair practice. If this is how our leaders are SELECTED why do the American people vote at all?
Why would anyone want the future of our nation decided by the precious few that apparently think they know more than we do.
This is not 1800 this is 2006 we now are very well informed and can make our own decisions.
