The American Dream...Is...?
Okay, so all my life I've heard people use the phrase "the American Dream", and I've never really known what it meant, exactly. I've always assumed that it was just a saying that people used, like "Ole' Junior, he's just living the American Dream". I've heard it be used for rich people and poor, black people and white, successful and failing, hard-working and lazy...about every genre of person I can think of, I've heard that phrase be used, and that's what makes it so hard to tell exactly what it means.
I've also heard many answers on its meaning...everything from becoming famous to looking good naked. So what's YOUR opinion of the American Dream?
