That reminds me of the New Yorker comic from a while back: http://www.unc.edu/depts/jomc/academics/dri/idog.html

As for for the rhyming it is lovely, but I don’t quite get the point. Perhaps I am simply dense.

Sorry Dewey-raptor, but I think you have mis-analyzed the times we live in *again*. The age of collaboration has passed. Its glory was reached in the post dotnet bubble pre credit crunch boardrooms of corporate America.

You are dead right that rugged individualism is dead. The new America mantra is neo-isoism (no that’s not a typo), a wimpish mixture of lonerism, extreme cynicism, smoke, and mirrors.

For all anyone on an information web knows, those on the other side could be cyborgs.

From this sad of state of affairs we realize both our doom and our redemption. Time in a bottle can slow down the throttle but if it walks like a duck, does it waddle, or, in fact, does it dawdle.

The man in the red sweater in your posted picture sadly looks like myself. Perhaps a support group is in order. Neo-isoistics unite!

Ciao.
