it would seem to me that if there is some american dream, it would have to do with what you do, and whether the space in which you find yourself is congenial to that.
in which case, it would be a much harder thing, to live this dream.
i certainly am not doing it.
is anyone?

The American Dream is defined as...
Americans' hope for a better quality of life and a higher standard of living than their parents'.
For those that came from other shores, it usually means the ability to own property, a car, a well paying job, and have disposable time and money to pursue other interests.
