This never really rang true for me.  Dogs don't react that way when a member
of their pack is being eaten.  Dogs and Wolves are loyal to their own.  And
so are most humans.

Academics, on the other hand...

Khaled, I just back from town and checked out a book by Dr. Jackie Kegley,
head of the Philosophy Dept. at UC Bakersfield, and she has a great deal to
say about this subject.  How an overemphasis on hard individualism has
actually contributed to an established collectivism where real individuality
is not tolerated.  It's a pathology described in her book, Genuine
Individuals and Genuine Communities - Toward a Roycean Public Policy, that
produces a conflict-oriented foreign policy and uses a cruder pragmatism as
guiding governmental commercial affairs.

I've been wanting to contact her for some time, but I thought I oughta
finish her book first.

 Any ideas I find, of interest to our discussion, I will keep you posted.

Loyally,

John
