[MD] The American Dream

[david buchanan]

Christoffer gave "a special thanks to Marsha for introducing [him] to Bernie Sanders"

It might interest you to know that Bernie Sanders is the ONLY actual self-described socialist in Congress (And probably the only one in the entire Federal government, despite what you might have heard from the conservatives. And he represents one of the smallest states in the US. 
And sadly, "the American Dream" is basically just the dream of material success. Understandably, it held a great deal of appeal for European peasants and impoverished people in general but it's not really all that noble. Its just about avoiding misery in terms of creature comforts. Not that we should take that for granted, but shouldn't we all dare to hope for more than a chicken in every pot? Personally, I'd like to see some pot in every pot. Don't smoke it? Good. I'll trade you. You give me your pot and I'll give you my chickens. Deal?
