On one I have to agree - paradise in nowhere on Earth, it's up there, in heaven. But as far as life in America - well, I'd rather not say that it's artificial, it's the way you make it for yourself. Needless to say, it's different from European style and it takes a while to get used to it or lerarn how to live your way in its realm. And people are quite real too, if they don't curse you openly (like back home) that does not mean they are artificial, they are just polite. And yes, they are different too, with different values, background, priorities. But no, they are not artificial.
Going to America has never been a solution to everyones every problem, that's true, and it never worked for everyone who came here. But you have to be fair to the country and it's people - they never invited anyone to come to their country. If you chose to come and they accepted you - be at least thanksfull, and if you are not - at least show some manners.
Ihor.
