The same is true of the American Dream; you can admire it as a concept‚ but as you get closer‚ what was so clearly compelling begins to dissolve.

Do you “need” a girlfriend because you really want a relationship‚ or do you want a girlfriend to make you feel like you are worth something? Your question is a serious one that you and many others should give a lot of thought to. If‚ as I suspect‚ it is to make you feel that you have self-worth‚ then it is for the wrong reason.

HannahRae Stevens 5 Oct. 2011 “If you Can’t Say Something Nice‚ Don’t Say Nothing At All” In any given day‚ we are exposed to hundreds of opinions from various sources. An admiring comment about your shoes‚ a disgusted cry during a Presidential address‚ a whispered diss about the girl across the room at a social event.

After the judge convicted him‚ he served 23 months in jail for cruelty to animals. America needs to realize that the use of animals for entertainment is wrong‚ and causes animals to suffer.
