Last night I watched portions of the premiere of “The Great American Dream vote”.  I was humored by what constituted the “great American dream” to the people on the show.  These 8 or so contestants were willing to stand in front of a studio audience and be televised across the U.S., stating their “great American dream” was a full head of hair, a daughter being in the Miss America or Miss Rodeo America pageants, creating America’s first ornamental chicken ranch, creating a basset hound retirement community and lastly, wanting one of the songs written for his wife, sung by a famous singer (a shoe-in for host, Donny Osmond).

While I have to say I do not like these types of shows and typically never watch them, I got roped in by the lack of Boston Legal and a preview that showed the basset hounds.

The thing that struck me is the variety of things people find important.  Important enough to state aloud.  Important enough to declare it would increase their happiness.  The participants did not choose gigantic, insurmountable dreams like world peace or solving world hunger.  They chose things that are important to them and things that would “make them happy.”

My vote goes to the basset retirement community (that AND world peace).

Namaste’,
