Saving the American Dream
Books Atkinson, 1894-1984, American jou alist, said, “This nation was built by people who took risks - - pioneers who were not afraid of the wilde ess, business men who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, and dreamers who were not afraid of action.” What happened to us? Did an illusion of security lead us to a wilde ess of half-truths, lies, and stupid decisions? Did we allow unworthy politicians to take control? What became of truth, honesty, and the American dream?
