Individualistic

Why is the U.S.
individualistic?
The Marlboro Man?

Notes: The term "individualistic" was used in Sunday's sermon which spurned this haiku. 

One word, seven syllables - awesome.  

I say "U.S." because, in my experience, on European highways, drivers do work together - slower traffic keep right, for example. In the U.S., it's every man for themselves (in my experience).
