    %COMMUNICATION RESPECT CONSTRAINT RIGHT INHIBIT 920221

     Not  all  communications merit respect  and  support.
Some   communications   are  dishonest,   mean,   violent,
deceptive,  selfish,  alienative,  etc.  Yet,  usually our
attempts to constrain communications to prevent  the  harm
of   disintegrative  communications  are  attempts   which
engender   at   least  as  much  personal   and   communal
disintegration  as  the feared communications  would  have
engendered.   Often  our fears are groundless;  rooted  in
paranoia and misunderstanding which originate in  previous
attempts to control communications.

     Many of our rights to communicate openly and honestly
are embedded in our constitutions. Even so,  many informal
inhibitions   to  open   and   honest   communication   of
experiences, perceptions, feelings, desires,  and opinions
are  still operative.  We need to learn creative  ways  to
deal    with    the   possibilities   of    disintegrative
communications and with actual instances of disintegrative
communications which are less disintegrative than are most
attempts to control communications. Most often attempts to
control communications fail, and at the same time engender
disintegration of persons and communities.
