If we want to be joined to a group, we'll join a group. That doesn't make us any less individuals, unless you begin to identify with yourself as being part of this newsgroup (which would be sort of scary... alt.individualism T-shirts, etc). Therein lies the major conflict of individualism... When you start identifying yourself with individualism, aren't you now a part of a group? -- "Man, I want to be an INDIVIDUAL... just like those dudes over there!"
