And if our hopes are to live life in equality, freedom and happiness, why does poverty and inequity continue to rule over so many citizens in this great democracy of dreams-- even after 200 years of trial and tribulation based upon 7000 years of recorded humanity?

In our Great Nation of Democratic Social rule, the fundamental principles of equality and justice seem to reside in some sort of dream; a purported gift to all believers who grasp its elusive fringes: Not Constitution, Bill of Rights, or God, Country, Family and Goals , but a dream whose ever present proving history may have demonstrated its very failure--producing few winners against an overwhelming abundance of near misses!

So, the ultimate question I believe I am asking: Does the American Dream truly exist? Or is it just another word-spin delivered in quest of motivating those whom will never realize their happiness to invest in ours?

Now, I know I'm gonna receive some flack about this one! You know what I'm talking about! You got it, from some of those very minds and mouth-pieces who spend their time sowing dissention in order to harvest their personal crop of that there green pasture of happy dreams--as in bucks, dough, moula, yen, marks, dinero, franks, so on an soon . . . .

But, I want you to think about something for a second . . . can you imagine having to dream about happiness, equality, and freedom? Hey, don't think I am kidding! I am heading towards Biblical Prophesy with this one!

Yea, 'cause I know many of you have had your share of that dream--the one you are shovel-fed the minute you voice your concern about being on the short end of the bounty; hovering a pay check over bankruptcy!

Yes, and some of you recall it 'cause it was pounded into your minds the moment you asked for social justice or inexpensive child care or assistance with your youth who have some how substituted the call of President Kennedy to ask what they could do for their country for the call of the wild?

And what about you, your the retired American who recalls that dream by the meager Social Security check you subsist on . .. what happened to your dreams?

Can anyone place blame on 70% of our mothers and fathers and grandparents? Can you say, with all honesty and truth, that their plight is because of their failure to work hard? That they did not dream enough?

Yes, my friends, their sacrifices continue . . .

Oh! Lest we forget, what about YOU, that silent majority single mother who is raising your children alone--while holding down a low paying job which hardly pays your basic needs, let alone any dreams YOU may have!

Have you not heard it is your fault?

Listen to the Rock, this is what I am talking about! Even with so many American dreams becoming nightmares, the vocal minority in the press and in the government (both state and federal) continue to believe the answer to the disparity of your dreams fruition is to place blame: that you did not dream enough!!!

Well Folks, I believe the answer to these questions may be so simple, its a wonder why it has not been discovered by all of those great minds and mouth-pieces whom spend much of their time sowing dissension in order to harvest their personal crop of that there green pasture of happiness as in bucks; dough; moole; marks; yen; dinero; francs; et al . . .
