39. you got it!

Well, we got it, heh.

I see it starting with the Puritans, who were concerned about religious freedom for themselves, and continuing down to this day, in the collective USAmerican consciousness, as "all about me", as you say. Skipped right over the fine ideals in that Bill of Rights stuff, and just integrated it all into the "____ for me" mindset.
