    I have been an American my entire life and I don’t even know what the American dream is supposed to be.

    I was taught about the nuclear family concept and how everyone was supposed to have 2.5 kids. The mothers cooked at home all day. The fathers worked all day and then got just drunk when they weren’t working. Sounds like the ideal life, no?

    Maybe the last thing I might of heard about the American Dream was from a Budweiser commercial. I dunno. I suspect that our immigration process here still has some of that propaganda baked into it.
