THE AMERICAN DREAM (1976)

                                        THE AMERICAN DREAM

                         Occasionally, we talk with some of our colleagues, 
                         and in so many words, they insist
that for them, 
                         "the American Dream has died."


                         At this point in the conversation I always like them 
                         to define their terms and detail their 
meanings.
                         Because, for as we are concerned us, the American 
                         Dream is very
much alive.

                         Oh yes, America gets a fever once in awhile...
                         But most of us do what most of us do  when diseases 
                         and
corruption enter our bodies.

                         Then we seek to clean out our system or take some
                         bad-tasting medicine or even get a few shots in our
                         posterior.
                         Now, as anyone who really enjoys living can tell you, 
                         it is better to be sick three or four times a year, than

                         than to be dead once.

                         And, oh the recovery. The recovery is such a wonderful 
                         thing...Rededication to higher
truths, to greater purposes,
                         and nobler ends
enter our thoughts and way of life.

                         The American Dream is very much alive in us and in our 
                         children and it shall continue to be for as long
as each
                         generation  is willing to pass that dream
along.

                         God bless America!
