The thing with American culture (at least from an European point of view) is the stubbornness to live the American dream. Of course everyone wants to succeed and be at the top, but when you leave so many people suffering in your wake just for yourself to be rich, something is wrong. And what is it with Americans and not asking for help, that everyone should take care of herself/himself? Such tenaciousness can be admirable, but it's ok to go on welfare for a while to get back upon your feet and there's no shame in getting help from the government. Yes, there will always be the moochers, who exploit the system, but people need a good security net provided by the government, so that if you fall, you don't land so hard and have the possibility to get back up. I mean, we don't have for instance single moms who work two or three jobs just to make ends meet, that would be considered preposterous over here.
Yeah, the fear of 'socialism'.. Because greed is so much better, then there's more for me!

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
