<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> How does your uniqueness require the same lack of control and options as </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> you experience now? If you are unique now then you will use greater </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> options most likely in rather unique ways, yes? I really don't see how </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> more choices will lead to less uniqueness. If anything I would expect </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> it to lead to more unique individuals (and groups for that matter) than </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> today.</FONT>
