From my understanding of it, the American Dream's going just fine! The only problem is most people misunderstood that it was about all of them.

To be perfectly frank, I can relate... Not gonna give up trying, just that I've never had much use for optimism given how things have been going overall.
if you are still trying it means there some hope in you deep down
Nope... zero. It's just what I feel is the right thing to do, regardless of results. And, on a more self-serving note, I will at least die with a clear conscience knowing that I did all I could do to follow and respect my principles, to be at least a quasi-decent human being.
