The structure of the government itself is the grandest execcise in self -rule 
in history.  For that very reason we "should" be judged as a nation of 
'individuals'.  Gov't was to be treated as a necessary eveil (but still an 
evil) by our founders.  Without individuality, personal liberty, individual 
freedom, we would be just another sad looking Eurpoean country, getting old 
in the teeth...............................
