    If America gives up the rights of the individual than there is no America and we will have lost what we stand for and who we are.

    America should be focused on the rights of the individual. Collective rights = BS.

    No, communities fail when they disregard the rights of the individual

    Source(s): First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. -MARTIN NIEMÖLLER

    No, failure happens when the rights of the community supersede the individual.
