You are an absolute idiot. Communal life came first in the development of man. The individualism (a good thing also) came later. We can't give up our communal roots lest we sicken and die - as we have done here in America.

I've revealed by Irish heritage many times. Your memory is no better than the rest of your mind.

The USA was set up under the premise of individuality, and was that way until the FDR years with the Depression. The FF feared the communal lifestyle under feudalism more than anything else and made sure the Constitution would stop central government would not get too big. If America does not fit your set of ideals, there are other areas of the world that does? I AM so happy that you think my mind does not match up with yours, I consider that to be a compliment.

There must be a balance. We're out of balance with careerism, self indulgence and other kinds of morbid individualism.
