Reflecting on what it means to be an American..

..upon completion of 20 years in USA..so much to gain and so much to lose..for immigrants raising American children and for everyone interested there is a great series (available on netflix streaming), http://www.history.com/shows/america-the-story-of-us

..tobacco..slavery..civil war..steam boat..rail road..telegram, the very first internet..carnegie's steel, discovery of oil..ford's assembly line..the great westward migration..california's los angeles aquaduct.. hoover dam..Interestingly some of the metaphors from the 30's parallel the first decade of the new century..will America rise again as it did from the great depression then?
