Re: "Europe," she said disdainfully. (none / 0)
Thanks for the link, poemless.

What this article makes me think of is the ad I sometimes see on the internets, which tells me I can have a go at the US Green Card lottery.

The whole damn American Dream thing is a lottery. The chances any poor person has of winning the big prize are derisory. Yet people love to believe in their chances, and wilfully ignore how tiny those chances are. (I'm not looking down on anyone, I'm the same).
