1. His special power is... Brick Rolling. Like Rick Rolling except not even close.

2. Maybe being the leader is his special power? Ever thought of that!? Missy.

3. The word you are looking for is 'created'! Through the power of Toilet Wine X.

4. Children aren't allowed to have attitudes.

5-9. What Brick is talking about is called 'Self-Determination' when the declaration of independence says 'All men are created equal' this is what it means. That no matter your heritage, wealth you were born into, poverty you were born into, handicaps, strengths, weaknesses, all men and women are equal. All that stuff is just add ons, gifts or curses, they aren't important. That is the American Dream. The American Dream isn't having two cars and a big house, it isn't having a mansion, it isn't the pursuit of happiness or the achieving thereof.

The American Dream is that A President and a Pauper can shake each others hands and look in each others' eyes as equals. Because no matter their station and gifts, They. Are. Equals.

You can see this philosophy at work and contrasting with other peoples by looking at when people (Okay admittedly thanks to Americanization a lot of countries are kind of used to it and don't react or have even started to adopt the practices so you need to mostly look at countries that either have had limited contact with American culture or actively tried to resist it) look at America from the outside the first thing they think of is, Americans are fat. But the second thing they think of is that Americans are Arrogant. Proud, loud and disrespectful. They tell stories of Americans going up to royalty, government officials and people just all around more powerful then them and patting them on the back, telling jokes and all and all treating those powerful people no differently then they would treat literally anyone else. And more then that getting upset and angry when those powerful people exert their station in a way that gets them special treatment. (Cutting in line for instance) Americans tend to have the same take it or leave it disregard for local traditions.

Thats just the result of the American Dream. Americans don't humble (Within Church being the one lone common exception) themselves because they don't believe they need to. Of course it has been taken to an extreme that well is not good. All opinions for instance aren't equal though a lot of people act like they are. All ideas aren't equal, all beliefs aren't equal in fact except for all humans being equal, this mentality of 'equality' tends not to apply we at all to anything else. And many people do need to stop trying.

But still its a good moral. People are different you can't judge yourself by comparing yourself to others. Because its just wrong. Should coming in second be something to be ashamed of? Third? Fourth? Last? No, someone has to be last. If you are going to be ashamed then examine why you are last. If you're last because you slacked off, then thats a reason to be ashamed. But if you are last for reasons beyond your control then just being last is not something to be ashamed of. Similarly, if you're first, just being first isn't a reason to be proud. Be proud because you trained hard, worked hard and did your best. Be happy that it paid off in victory but only be proud of the work you did to achieve it. In that way your heart will not be filled with arrogance and instead you will have true humility. Not a false humility, not a foolish meekness, but a true humble spirit, one that takes pride where pride is due but not at the expense of others who have no reason to be ashamed.
