Hugo: 美國民主之樹

美國民主之樹(Tree of Democracy)的根，就是『信仰耶穌基督的福音』與『信仰十誡的絕對道德理念』；美國民主之樹的樹幹，就是『Individualism、Liberalism、Absolute moral and Justice、Love your neighbor as yourself、Love your enemy as yourself、All man are created equal、All political power is inherent in the people』等價值理念；美國民主之樹的樹枝，就是『Democracy、Freedom、All man have natural human rights、The rule of law、People have the right to establish a nation、People have the right to autonomy、People have the right to establish a Constitution、All free governments are founded on their authorityand instituted for their benefit、Limited power of the government、Citizens are not subordinate to the government、Human rights transcend sovereignty』等價值理念；美國民主之樹的花朵，就是『American Spirit』與『Spirit of Liberty』等價值理念；美國民主之樹的樹葉，就是『American constitutionalism and American Constitutional Law』、『Tripartite Separation of Powers (Separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers)』與『Democratic voting systems』等價值理念！

然而，近百年來普遍的東亞大陸與台灣人，他們總是以為只要摘下美國民主之樹的一片葉子--『Democratic voting systems』；然後將這一片葉子種在自己家的花園裡，它就可以自然長出『巨大的民主之樹』，這不就是近百年來普遍的東亞大陸與台灣人的思維方式嗎？
