I guess we have different definitions of The American Dream. Kind of sad that everyone thinks they must be rich and they can't have a great life unless they are rich.

Every time I meet an immigrant I ask them how they like America. The reply is always the same. "I love it."

That's what The American Dream is to me. Not sure what to tell all of those that dream of getting rich easily. That was never The Dream before, not sure why it suddenly is now, but that is more of a delusion than a dream. Very few people get rich easily. Sitting on the couch complaining about it is certainly not going to make that dream, or delusion, come true any quicker.

I have strong feelings about this subject. I guess I'm biased. My story is a little different than most. I believe that if *I* can live out what I consider to be The American Dream, than anyone can. I wish more would see it that way.
