is the american dream dead?

To secure consensus on the meaning fo the term "American Dream" cannot hurt, if everybody means something different by it, then any communication necessarily must derail sooner or later. The term has become a phrase with a meaning of its own, and the meaning(s) of it are not really that arbitary or random anymore.

In the USA too many leeches makes it harder than it used to be, but you just have to get more frugal. MOST aren't willing to be frugal(greatest generation frugal). While our insurance and gov't are taking too much at least we have the internet which can help with being frugal - cheaper buying/info on how to do things. My pop thought of the gov't as a nuisance, but he could live with the amount they took. It's getting to be less that way. Personally I feel my gov't is more dangerous to me than any dirtbag hiding in a cave on the other side of the world.

You might also have to plan an exit strategy if you can get enough nuts together before it's too late. Thailand/Costa Rica/Dominican Republic
