     We  desperately need to have integrative role  models
who  openly and honestly embody the most healthy  insights
which they  have into what  it  can be like to be involved
in  healthy  intimate relationships with as many people as
is possible.  Abstract  statements  do not help as much in
encouraging people  to cooperate and work closely together
in  dealing  with our  human dilemmas as can truly healthy
role   models   who  demonstrate  by   their   lives   and
relationships  what  it is like to participate in  healthy
intimacy.

     Our  dilemma  is  that much  of  the  time  fanatical
fundamentalists dominate public perceptions of what  human
relationships SHOULD be like,  and in their view openness,
honesty,   true  intimacy,  and integrity of  persons  and
communities  do  not play major roles.   Such  aspects  of
healthy human relationships are sacrificed upon alters set
up  for  the  idolatrous  worship of  dishonest  goals  of
perfect  conformity  to  some image of how  humans  SHOULD
think and behave, and what human relationships SHOULD look
like.   When such views dominate human relationships it is
so risky to be open  and honest about unconventional forms
of intimacy that there  are  few  healthy  role  models of
resultant cooperation in dealing with human dilemmas.  The
cost in wasted human lives  and  in  violence is literally
incalculable!
