American Values

American Values
What is the number one American value?  I don’t want lip service here.  What do our actions say the number one value is in America.  How do we judge each other.  Nothing noble here.  Raw reality.  Some hints?

When we judge a career, what is the first thing we say about it?

What is the number one activity in America?

Where do teenagers spend their time?

What do teenagers want to wear?

The number one value in America is the acquisition of wealth.  Look up “The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition” on the Internet.  They pretty much describe American actions, policies and inclinations.  How is the religion of acquisition practiced by the masses?  Consumerism.  It is what makes us tick.  We are what we acquire, and with that I agree, sadly.
