Well, it's a money based society, where dog eat's dog. After all, that's what people cohose, when they went to elections. I guess, that the election results, where Arnold get's to be the governer, illustrates the trends well enough, so, it's the american dream.....(what ever that is?).

Hey, by the way, how is "The American Dream" defined anyway??? The term gets used pretty often, but I still don't know the meaning of it.

By calling U.S.A. a money based society, I don't state, that communism would be a good idea. I just reference to the trend, that all good and ethical is tossed aside when tossing it aside becomes profitable enough(talking about Mico$__t, SCO, the DMCA abusers, RIAA, vendors of proprietary software, all patetabilety and everything related, heavy restrictions on copying books, etc.).

And in the end, the europeans and the japaneese look at the U.$.A. as a good model to follow: all patenabilety in Japan and may-be also in Europe, propritary software, etc. Even the Micro$h__t admited in it's halloween documents, that all the new and innovative is first implemented on free plathforms and then, later, if ever, on their Win___$. Not to mention, that FFTW(to name a few) is part of a whole scientific REASEARCH!!!.
