This never really rang true for me. Dogs don't react that way when a member of their pack is being eaten. Dogs and Wolves are loyal to their own. And so are most humans.

How an overemphasis on hard individualism has actually contributed to an established collectivism where real individuality is not tolerated. It's a pathology described in her book, Genuine Individuals and Genuine Communities - Toward a Roycean Public Policy, that produces a conflict-oriented foreign policy and uses a cruder pragmatism as guiding governmental commercial affairs. I've been wanting to contact her for some time, but I thought I oughta finish her book first. Any ideas I find, of interest to our discussion, I will keep you posted.
