Wake-Up Call

No matter who you are, no matter what race, creed or color; no matter how humble your circumstances might be, you have certain “inalienable rights” that nobody can take away from you.


You’re free to soar just as high as your wings can carry you.


You have a chance to make for yourself a better, richer, happier life, because we are a republic “of the people, by the people and for the people,” with “liberty and justice for all.”



That’s the American Dream, isn’t it?


As dreams go, it’s a good one.


Funny thing, though.


It’s the only dream I know of that you can never have as long as you’re asleep.
