It's not unknown in the UK, it's just that in the US there's more room to be
isolated, more opportunity to live your own life. I don't see much wrong
with that, providing they don't impinge on others. Selfish, yes, but happy
for the most part.

>>Perhaps they're happy Eric. There's something to be said for the condition.
People in Time Tunnels tend to be sad, seen from the outside. Maybe it's more of an American condition, although I bet it's not unknown in the UK.
Sad maybe because they haven't listened to Wild Bill:
He who binds to himself a joy Does the wingèd life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise.
