How bout somebody first define The American Dream? That alone is up to one's own interpretation. I'm fine with what Jon stands for even though I strongly disagree with some of those views. Either way, it takes guts to speak up about important issues even if you may be wrong. I respect that. I also get RDkopper's perspective on certain issues. Too many seem to ignore the gigantic grey area in between many of these topics. Let's try to do our best to be open to all points of view. That's all I ask.
