Survey: Instead of being a nation of plump, happy, blond, starry-eyed, milk-filled rubes, haven't we...?

...become a nation of paranoid, dissatisfied, shrink-badgered, alienated pill poppers, alcoholics, and Maalox mainliner people, befuddled by so much angst in the midst of so much plenty, having been brainwashed our whole lives to lust for the American Dream, only to find ourselves bewildered by the fact we can't seem to grasp it?

    This is written so well! You could be a new-age poet, seriously.

    And I giggled at the Raspberry Sounds part, too.

    I agree with everything you say! I think everyone is struggling for this evasive "American Dream" that is impossible to catch, and even more impossible to keep.

    Amen!

    (Oh and we have everything to be thankful for, but no appreciation for it.)

    Pblblblbt! Excuse me it was the fish tacos last night. I think both of your descriptions are of a minority of Hollywood stereotypes that media get woodies reporting about. The rest of us just shake our heads and go about the business of making this country great. The tabloid readers can stand in line and be tittilated by pictures of cellulite on stars. My peers and I will pay for the 6 pack and go enjoy a beer after a hard days work. That's the American Dream.

    It's only like that ,if you let it be like that.........here's an analogy.....It's like when your at the state fair, and start walking down the carnival game ally. All of the dirty ,lieing,cheating, carnies running the games start calling to you to come over and win a prize,they flatter you as you walk by, maybe tell you how pretty your girlfriend is, once they sucker you over, their game is rigged so much in their favor you can never win, while your playing their shell game, they may even have a pick pocket on your side of the game stealing you blind.......my point is you have to realize who these people are ,and what they are about(knowledge is power), then you can steer clear of them........me, I like to walk over and bash 'em in the head with a ball bat, that way they know who I am and what I'm about.

    The problem is that most of us have it... but are dissatisfied and want more. We get the white picket fence then see the neighbors fence is made of gold and start lusting after a new dream.

    Some people are like that, so I do agree to a certain extent, thought no one I know is like that so, also, I disagree.

    No raspberry sounds, I'd get spit all over my new screen.

    What is the American Dream?

    You're over-complicating things here. My advice is get a tattoo on your neck that says:

    Beer

    Bitches

    Money
