RE: "The American Dream" is just a myth we tell ourselves

It's true the American Dream is transmitted to us by our parents work habits. Mom and Dad teach us to study hard, practice good sportsmanship, defer gratuitous pleasures and learn self discipline. Then when the time comes, they slip a suitcase full of money to the Ivy League University admissions coordinator. "You should see my boy row that boat!" Wink, wink.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
