 The average American is like other folks all over the world. He
works hard to support his family and wants to see his kids become educated
and to succeed in life. We have Christians, Jews, Muslims and a few
Hindus. We call ourselves a Judeo-Christian country as this is our primary
orientation here. In general, there are tremendous advantages in living
here. Truly, it is an environment of terrific abundance and the public
education system is such that anyone who truly wants to become educated
can do so. In other words, social class is no barrier to success. I think
this is why people from all over the world come here to live. Of course
we're a nation of 250 million people so we certainly have our share of
problems. Compared to the struggling folks of the middle east, Africa,
Russia etc., we have a genuine paradise. For example, if you came here to
live, your facility in english and Arabic would be very valuable. With an
advanced degree, you could teach in a high school or college. There would
also be companies wanting to do business with Arabic speaking nations who
would hire you. In other words, your only limitations would be those you
impose on yourself. Sincerely, FRED
