                             %DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE 861127

     The  integrity and ability of a community to  survive
depend  upon  the freedom and desire of its members to  be
open and honest in all their communications.  Without open
and  honest communications the elements of  the  community
can not effectively coordinate cooperative behavior,   and
so  can not deal  with  threats  to  the  integrity of the
community  which  come  from  without.    Anything   which
threatens   the   integrity  of  communications  within  a
community threatens the  integrity  of the  communications
dealing  with  external threats to the  integrity  of  the
community.

     If  members  of  the  community  do  not  desire   to
communicate openly and honestly, they are not likely to do
so.   Open and honest communication can not  be  required,
coerced,  manipulated or technocratically caused. Open and
honest communication flows from the heart through  genuine
desire, not through calculation and systematics.

     The  community which desires to protect its integrity
will  thus assure that desires to communicate  openly  and
honestly are not repressed,  not punished,  not threatened
etc.  Such  a community will seek to expand all rights  of
communications  which  will  expend  the integrity of  the
community  and  the integrity of its members  in  coherent
ways.
