A : It is the God given right, and human instinct to be an individual. What distuingishes and characterizes one human from another. It's what makes us..ourselves.
2)Q : Why be "Individual"?
A : Being individual is not a right, not a trend. It's not a bunch of punks with a nose ring, it's not a bunch of goths with boots. It's being who you are on the inside, and societies ideas of "perfection" has virtually stripped individualism from Americans, and it is time to return it. Being individual, after all, is what got us this great country.
3)Q : How do I support Individualism?
A : Be an Individual! I am not asking everyone to make a mighty stand and to tell everyone to go to hell or remove pop idols. I am saying, be yourself. That is the ultimate stand in itself. Supporting individualism is easy, just..be individual. Be yourself, even if that means flipping me the bird and trying to delete my website from your memory, that's your choice as an individual!
4)Q : You preach individualism, but what if all punks/goths/etc look the same to me?
A : Well, then I'd say you have a serious problem. The way they express theirselves may seem similar to you, but they are not. It can be the simple difference of one punk having a purse she made of tape, and another one she sewed herself. It is individualism at it's finest.
5)Q : What if all the individuals has no affect on America?
A : There is no gaurantee in life, not even life itself. We can't possibly hope to make the whole world see what we do, but if we stand for what we do, as true Americans would, then at least we have not given up without a fight!

6):Q : How do we get people who think we're all a like to see th at we're not?
A : Thanks, Kat, for your question. It's not easy. That's why it takes all of us, and all our words, not of violence but of hope. Not stereo types to and from each social group. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has to take a stand for individuality. Everyone has to scream "I am ME!" for it to be heard, and even then it may not e heard, but there is no succeeding without trying.
