The original article has a direct relation to what I was talking about and has everything to do with a shift away from the mores of the traditional culture - get, posses, own, reproduce etc. You talked about the cowboy way, which in and of itself is a romantic notion of 'trundling' and self-sufficiency that is particularly American in its romanticism (unlike the Gaucho Cowboy tradition of Argentina which is far more community based).
