Well, Lawrence, I hope you feel better having gotten that off your chest. But you still haven't answered my question. Are we all in this together or is it each man for himself?

A cheap ploy, Mike -- reducing things to ad hominem possibilities.  I'm X.
Oh, yeah, you think you're some big X. You are so not X. Thinking you're X
when your nothing but a Q.

Just an American here, Mike -- as individual as the rest of those of us who
are American and not Europeanized Leftist Pacifists who don't really feel
comfortable here, who want to change American to be more like the Europeans
they admire, who want to denigrate Americans, make them ashamed of being
what they've always been, making fun of the rights they've enjoyed.
Sneering, twisting, quibbling, turning, fearing, hiding -- afraid of the
dark were it not for the great paternal 911 that can be or might be a
barrier against what is really out there in the dark, because what is in
here doesn't really exist outside where one must chose, do things, make
decisions, stand up for what is right as intimidating as that might be. For
if there is really something RIGHT, then I might have to adhere to it or
agree with it or admire it or what's worse disagree with it and then be
WRONG.

Lawrence on the Right
