    Listen to the story how the real guys become millionaires.
    John was a beggar.
    Once he found an apple. He laundered it and sold it for 10 cents. Then he bought two apples by 5 cents from a beggar friend and made him an order for next four apples. Then he laundered those 2 apples and sold them for twenty cents. Then, his second cousins aunt from California has died and left him inheritance 1000000 dollars. That's how John became a millionaire. :)

    Oh! You're probably the first person who are interested in the problem with apples))) Normally, getting a million, anyone does not remember about the apples for some reason.

    This story ends. The John's dream came true, whatsoever. Let's rejoice for him with all our hearts! After all, the joy (and a humor as well) do not harm anyone. Right? Better to be a bit like Dr. House, rather than Steven Seagal.

    Oh, no! This idea does not fit to Hollywood. There is no happy end when John rescues the universe (or, at least, our world). Need to work a lot on the screenplay, to do like this, that an unexpected inheritance would be carriing the threat to humanity, unless John takes money. Also Bin Laden should not be deprived of attention.:)

    Recently I learned that good brands of apples like Granny Smith and Golden delicious are more expensive in China than here in Sweden. So, if you are in the right place and have the right knowledge, you actually can make a fortune selling apples. :cool:

    The American dream isn't about being a millionaire. It's about the freedom and choices a person has and can make. The open market is just part of that.

    Wats the point of open market when people choose products just due to ads

    You are pretty right! But as to me, I do not buy the unnecessary thing to me because of its sudden cheapness or it is good advertised. After all, I do not need it! This is almost the same as if you were being a healthy, drink up the remnants of the drug for thrift. I take only what I need, sometimes even a little bit more expensive than regular price. And the advertising is a part of the open market. Want to take account of its "authoritative opinion", please. If you do not want - this is your right.

    I still think the American Dreams out there but also this quote for most of us: "The great thing about the American dream is you can wake up tomorrow and try again" It's kind of like we have a dream of independence from $$ but never really get there.

    I think, it's terribly boring to be overly serious and to see only rational in everything, to valuate things from the attitude of their applied nature. But in real life except "useful" things there are just funny ones!
