George Carlin On the American Dream

[monk222]

“That’s why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

-- George Carlin

Oh, there are a few who manage to win a piece of the pie. Not me. But it happens. Enough apparently to keep people playing.

I see the American Dream as a merely attempt to impose the standard model of "HAPPINESS" on everyone. But we are all very different to match the same "STANDARDS" to deserve the "RIGHT" to be "HAPPY", in accordance with someone who creates the equal "the CONCEPT OF HAPPYNESS".

Today, I think the American dream is now the World dream, and it is all about the money. It's hard to have any kind of happiness without some money. Dreams aren't cheap, heh.
