· Diane, your post's title included "FW:", you say: " the following
article" and: "this long attachment", and later refer to: "For more insight
... www.wired.com/ "

· but there _was_ no forwarded item, following article, or any attachment.
I'm fairly sure you were referring to posts to [CarFree], not the
www.wired.com article.

· Do you want to try it again?

· I'm particularly interested in your mention: “Another poster noted how
interesting it is that an authoritarian group (that allows little room for
individuality) has more "community" than our liberal society with its
"do-your-own-thing" creed.” 

· That's a hard balance to draw (for one thing it varies over time, and
with "how rich" the society is), and I agree with your implication that the
USA has taken individual "succcess" much too far, as an admirable goal.
