I sort of like the whole American Dream ideal. And I believe it and will defend it. The key ingredient is desire and perseverance. Not many have those.

I was reading interviews with a couple Cubans this week that I thought were pretty interesting. These people were happy with free health care, friendly neighbors, little work, a "safe" society, and good culture even though it meant they barely made enough money to put food on their plate. That concept is totally bizarre to me, but I can see how it would possibly be appealing to someone who grew up in a Communist society. To me, that whole thought process is against "free will". And "free will" is very important to me.

I grew up knowing my neighbors, had good health care, had great "culture" within my family, had a good family, was very safe, and food was always on our plate with more in the cabinet. We didn't have a lot of money, but did ok. Through hard work, free will, and the American Dream... I still have all of the above and then some, as does my whole family. Sacrifice does pay off.

Yappo.
