I disagree Keith. And - I'm one who has no problem at all in blaming
socialists for a lot of ills. Socialism and "me"ism are at odds with each
other to a very large degree. I believe that the me-first attitude enabled
the onslaught of socialistic thinking.

As I read what you read, I believe our disagreement is a chicken and egg
issue of which came first? "me"ism caused socialist think OR socialist
thinking caused "me"ism.
