I never caught where you're from, but if you've never been to America, then you probably don't realize just how self-serving most of us are here. Most Americans never see through it themselves. This country was basically a vast frontier that was developed by rugged individualists who fended for themselves for the most part. Now that the U.S. is more highly developed and populated, that individualism has devolved into a sort of perverse narcissistic hedonism. We still delude ourselves into thinking that each man is an island unto himself, when in fact that sort of "wild west" contempt for civilization has long been outmoded.
