On a related note, the following quote from p. 30 of the latest issue of American Educator resonates with me for some reason, especially on the eve of this year's 4th of July celebrations:
The reason for American dominance over the last century was not because of its economic vitality. What made America the leader of the free world was that it held up a beacon of hope in the universal quest for human fulfillment.What do you think?

I agree. The American Dream is not based in economics, but in freedom, opportunity, and possibility. Without these, the individual is helpless and hopeless. Thomas Wolfe said, "…to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining, golden opportunity ….the right to live, to work, to be himself, and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him."
