I'm wondering if your incredible insight on American culture is because you are observing it from a different perspective.

How true your words ring. I'm doing some research myself and I hope you won't mind if I quote you. Your comments about one being so materialistic at the expense of their own soul is so pervasive - that I often have to remind myself of the things that are truly valuable and lasting - such as enjoying quality time with family and friends.

Do you have a boyfriend? ;-)

I found your article to be a bit rambling, more like a stream of thoughts than a coherent essay. Some editing wouldn't hurt in polishing the article (the acronym "LOL" seems inappropriate). What I got out of it was a general anti-materialism, anti-commercialism message infused with naturalist imagery. Your reference near the end to "global choices" was somewhat baffling. Perhaps you could explain.
I am ambivalent about your use of your excellent looks for political purposes, though I find it intriguing. In my opinion, it's a well-deserved insult to the overeager males posting here.

"They grow up to expect a fairy tale that evolves around a self evolving superficial premise that only brings momentary happiness. "

Hubby and I eloped and married in a little Alabama town courthouse. The whole story is romantic though but only cost $40 :)

While your writing style needs work, I was a little surprised to find quality content in your missive. Good job.

So what is it you do for a living, exactly? Sell pictures of yourself on the internet?

Thanx/7
