Gather 'round the unemployment office, my good socialist countrymen! Open your minds to a tale of a world where it is a different life...where it is a better life, where it is a magical life, where it is a life full of realized dreams.
Where it is a life UNRESTRICTED by common-day obstacles, by the mundane limits that so constrict us from getting to where we truly want to be within this socialist bubble.
"Why should I listen to this man?" you might ask yourself. "What good are stories when the system set up in my own country oppresses me with its preset notions of how to live my life?"
To respond to these concerns, we must go back in time.
1492. Christopher Columbus reaches the New World. The following is an excerpt from a log recounting a conversation between Columbus and an unidentified member of his crew:
"I see land, *****!"
"Indeed."
"Dude awesome, what do you think this place is?"
"Sir, I believe we have just arrived into what they call A-"
"SHUT UP! I think I see something...yes! It's a man riding a horse, and if I had to guess I would say this is not a white man at all. I was right all along...welcome to India, my friend!"
"Sir, I really think-"
"Did I not tell you to SHUT UP? Well SHUT UP!"
Past that the log gets fuzzy as the pages have been smeared with acetylsalicylic acid. The point is, here is a man who set sail to unknown territory, a fearless pioneer heroically paving the way for generations upon generations to come of people looking to make something greater of their lives. It doesn't matter that he was in fact preceded by (at least) Norsemen, what counts is that here is a man who went out and did something whose success he had no prior guarantee for save for confidence in his own abilities, a man who took a shot in the dark hoping for the bullet to chime the bell of fortunate outcome. He did all of this, and he succeeded. Because that, my friends, is the American way.

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.
