Ab, not all of us are mindless cult-worshipers needing an alpha male to tell us how to think. <for the life of me, i don't know why they hang
around if they are so un-enamoured of tj.

People hang around where they find something useful, fun, or interesting. Cult acolytes hang around to feel a sense of tribal identity. There's an eclectic supply of information and ideas from around the world here. Where else can I learn about installing Cyberspace in Angola and what goes on in the mind of China's politburo? Official Politburo websites don't give that gritty reality perspective we get from a wider-ranging proponent. I get a front lines view of the mortgage debacle as CB battles for default on loans. All sorts provide all sorts.

I like the lonely path, the solitary way, the individual perspective, the self-determination. TJ is keen to be in the company of "the boyz" and far from the solitary way and lonely path.

TJ is right with that, but actually taking the lonely path is easier said than done. Most people, because of human identity needs, end up in a collectivist concept which seems real, even if they try to be individualistic. How about the hordes of young adults with tattoos "to express their unique individuality". Laughable. Piercings to show how stand-out they are. Taking a lonely path in China is expressly forbidden. Loading up with gold is hardly a lonely path. It's crowded.
