“America is made up of individuals. Some are good, some are not so good. "----Yeah,I think the same is in every country. So we should try to know more each other even if we have different opinions about something. "the love of freedom and the value of the individual above the state crosses all boundaries.”----Love is great. It's always in our hearts. We should share it with others. And life is valuable. Every one should be respectable. P.S. My English isn't very good. How strange it is! But I think you can understand what I said.

Yes, I understand.

“even if we have different opinions about something. “the love of freedom and the value of the individual above the state crosses all boundaries.”——

That's the whole problem in a nutshell. If you don't value the individual- and that individual's freedom above all else, you have tyranny. Even if it as simple as one person enslaving another.

Unless that is your cornerstone, all else falls. God gave each person their own unique freedom. No one else may take it away.

America stands for freedom. It stands for the individual no matter how weak or small. If some Americans do not live up to that ideal, it doesn't mean the ideal isn't there, and it doesn't mean the America doesn't stand up for the ideal.

P.S. Your English is just fine. I can't speak Chinese at all, so that makes you a heck of a lot smarter than me from the get go.
