And I say, this shows that Americans care about the land in general & the whole world. Americans don’t want war; they want a house. As Sharon Millett the 1999 National Association of Realtors President stated. SAME FOR ALL OF US!

But I want a house. A house is a symbol of independence, both spiritual & physical. The American’s feeling about his house expresses the main traits of Americans, the desire for independence & privacy. It’s an attitude that’s open, kind & caring, both toward the house & everything it stands for. MORE TO COME!

From 1999 with a former Soviet citizen stating Americans do not want war. What Americans want is a house. No matter their place on the social ladder, they want a house of their own. They want a house & the ground it stands on, that’s all. My dream…..my own house…..is unattainable for my husband and myself …..as unattainable as heaven on earth. MORE!
