RE: The Triumph of Hope over Self-Interest

Right. So apparently Blogger ate one of my posts and I didn't realize it until nearly too late. Stupid technology. Anyway.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with Mr. Brooks. Americans seem to have these delusions of grandeur that they're all gonna be rich someday, if not already rich. And then they turn around and worry more about the social aspects of Owning Stuff then the fact that sometimes they can't even afford that meal at the Macaroni Grill. It's amazing how most people don't see what's obviously going on. We may not be a Communist nation, but even in our capitalistic society it should be clear that the rich will get richer and the poorer will get poorer until people pull the veil from their eyes.

Me? I'm moving to Germany as soon as it's auspicious to do so. As much as I have to give credit to America for giving me a free place to be born, the citizens make me groan an sigh everyday.
