America. The worlds oasis? Part One. The introduction.

Tweet

I'm from a very small country, rich in heritage and culture, The Bahamas. Since we are but a Superman's rock throw away from Florida, which many of us frequent on a daily basis, it's hard for us to not be directly affected by the persona of America, everyday I see how we are getting vacuumed into the culture, luxuries, and the image America portrays. Now, I consider myself well grounded, and I share a desired interest in a broad scope of world events. None of which America is NOT a part of; allbeit directly or indirectly. The war in Iraq, the North Korea tyrant, the volitility of the whole entire middle east, the Cuba saga of when Castro will eventually die, the price of gas, and so on. Still, America in many eyes is looked upon as the Worlds Big Oasis (hey i'm an aspiring writer, sounds like a good book title to me.) Say what we may, but America and what goes on inside, affects the world and believe me the world relishes in it. What is interesting though, and this is what I love about America so much, is that there is a certain dream to live, that can only be lived there. Freedom of speech, unheard of in many countries, a politcal and legal system that is un matched, more opportunities to be a millionaire too, etc. Think about it, many immigrants make America home, than americans make other countries home, and why? Because there are so many opportunities to be somebody, not saying you can't make it in your own country, but from my observation, and this is my own opinion, people out of work in america who are able to work, just dont want to, seriously. I mean online jobs, the legit ones of course, Ebay, government grants, Welfare, you name it, i feel that a part from a true homeless person, and the sick and dissabled, there's enough money in america for EVERYBODY! But as they say the rich get richer and well the poor....you know the rest. While this is just an intro to only a tip off an Alaskin sized iceberg I plan to write about, and i lightly salted a few areas i will look at, take the time to ponder this discussion as I move forward to PART TWO shortly.
