What I find fascinating/disturbing is the instinctual move to "rugged individualism" whenever people are stressed/frightened. I have my own fantasies of walking into the woods & never returning. It's DEEP in our culture this idea that you can "go it alone"—deeply destructive & hard work to counter.
