There is nothing worse then being built up to fall. We sometimes learn from when we fall, and then again falling is much different then being pushed. To many people young and old still believe that Norman Rockwell's American did existed but that it is still alive and well in every part of the nation and perhaps even the world. Is there nothing worse then being in the middle part of your life and find your days of the crowd yelling your name now is the sound of your family and boss because you have not made there dreams of what you can do fall short. Those people lost in the abays blindly limp as they go down a path to narrow to turn around on. Then those who get the dream but decide to leave the world early for reasons that will never be truly know only to leave shattered images and faded memories to be clung on to as to let go of anger sadness and fear will loss them or even yourself. The dream is not a turkey in every home and a picket fence. The dream, is believing you can rise from the nightmare you find yourself in, to turn on the narrow path before it is too late. Find something in side to carry you when you can no longer walk. In short wake up and know that you can at least do that and some days that is enough.

Linus, You are saying what we as Americans don't want to think about since we still think that the "Dream" is alive and well... Keep up the good work
