man Rueben, thats depressing!..........its also interesting, tell us about the greed. my father came from a large family and grew up poor, thats just how they did it back then, I will probably only have two children because its so expensive out here on the west coast that my quality of living would go down and i swore to myself not to raise my kids the way I was raised. We never had meat when i was kid, I got my first job when I was 8 so I could buy those rotissery chickens in the display case at the market, man those were good!!! I guess the cultural differences are the biggest. theres a hispanic fellow that works for me, hes 25 and has five kids, they arent hungry but will be stuck in the lower middle class or upper lower class depending on how you look at it, its just the way their culture is, the muslims are probably similiar, i wouldnt know cuz I dont know any. Im sure they all change when they get brainwashed by hollywood, the american dream and sex, drugs and rock n roll, the second and third generations probably wont be very religious and they will all want a house and a new car and a good job and perfect marriage before you know it they are just Americans, all divorced, having midlife crisis', chasing possesions, never finding true happiness, or maybe thats just california. LOL!
