The American dream was always mythological. A very powerful myth - TopicsExpress



          

The American dream was always mythological. A very powerful myth that took me a very long while to shake off. Like keeping a bottle of wine for a special occasion, then opening it and finding vinegar. it dawned on me that I had bought a pig in a poke. You dont often hear minorities extolling the virtues of the dream, unless they are freshly on our shores and about to begin the race. What I have left now is the ideal of the american as an individual committed to the ties that bind us to each other. That of course runs counter to the Randian idea that individuals make the country better by striving for their own welfare.
