American Dream 

The idea, that some day, some how, you'll be happy. That your kids won't grow up to hate you and disrespect you. That some day you won't come home fried out from work, only to sit in front of the television, or open a bottle of JD, or rail a line of coke, or any other addiction common to American life. But the most important part to remember... dreams aren't real.

Just woke up from the American dream...

American Dream 

Any impossible get-rich-quick or love at first sight type gimmick that was used to exploit legions of immigrants and blind, hopeful dreamers once upon a time.

This dream is especially important in an individualistic, greedy society in which wealth equals true human value. To many, the American dream is to become rich or famous. To some, it is to be extremely happy.

Both will lead to ruin and leave the dreamers disillusioned.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy both discuss the downfalls of the American Dream.

American Dream 

A concept that died around 1973. Originally the dream of being a blue-collar manufacturer living in a suburban house with a white picket fence with your wife and two kids. The term was rendered obselete as the American economy became based on service with manufacturing jobs being taken over by China and Japan.

Only the consistantly dim-witted and naive portion of American citizens still believe in the idea of the American dream.

American Dream 

Having a big car, house, paycheck, and lots of friends. Shitting on the rest of the world in order to have a life of ridiculous consumption and waste. Becoming overweight and then spending years on diets and treadmills to fight the disgusting processed food one is constantly shoving in the mouth. Putting chemicals and endless amounts of water onto one's lawn in order to have a lawn greener than one's neighbor.

The American Dream is a broken thing.
