I phrased my original statement very badly, so I will try to clarify it
now.  I should not have said "returned to their appointed places in society".
I should have said "in the NEW society".  Your observation is quite right.
I wasn't trying to say that individualism wins out.  I was trying to say
that individualism becomes the new "system".  And that system can be just
as rigid and heirarchial (sp?) as any other.

Why couldn't this be like English 101?  At least then we knew there was only
one interpretation to the end of any story, the professors!
