It still sounds bad.

I understand what you were saying now, but as for the actual post its self, the 'feeling' of it hasn't changed.

It is big, isn't it?
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

A flow of charge from one point to another, as in lightning, is not a circuit. An electric circuit is a system in which charge carriers (be they electrons, or abscences of electrons) flow in a loop, driven by some source of electromotive force. Since in lightning, charge carriers only go one way (up or down, I dont know) lightning in itself is not a circuit. I'm not sure how the charge gets in the clouds so I dont know, but presumably if you take all that into account theres a circuit in there somewhere, with clouds and earth acting like a giant capacitor.
