     There are many  dilemmas having to do with:

GUN CONTROL       SELF DEFENSE         RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

TRUE SECURITY     INVULNERABILITY      CRIME CONTROL

HOME CONFLICT     HOME VIOLENCE        TECHNOCRATS

MACHO MENTALITY   SEX ADDICTION        CHILD ABUSE

WIFE ABUSE        SEX DISCRIMINATION   CHILD NEGLECT

TERRORISTS        ORGANIZED CRIME      DRUGS ABUSERS

IMMORALITY        MEAN LEGALISTS       CODEPENDENTS

ADDICTIONS        DYSFUNCTIONAL SEX    VIOLENT REVENGE

DISHONESTY        ORGANIZED ADDICTS    OBJECTIVE SCIENCE

     The  dilemmas to which the above words point are  not
technical problems.

     We cannot deal wisely with our dilemmas so long as we
respond to our dilemmas  in  ways  which  are dominated by
objective,   scientific and technical considerations which
focus primarily upon issues of control and manipulation.

     Central  to  many  dilemmas   are   alienative  human
relationships  which  are essentially  reflexive:    i.e.,
reflecting upon the nature of our personal relationships.

     Dilemmas are essentially reflexive challenges  to us.
It  is  thus  tragically dishonest to  try  to  deal  with
dilemmas  in  ways  which are dominated  by  non-reflexive
considerations.     Being   dominated   by   non-reflexive
considerations   when  we  are  confronted  by   reflexive
dilemmas is often the heart of a dilemma which faces us.

     Our responses  to dilemmas are often exclusive rather
than inclusive, disintegrative rather than integrative.

     Unless  we  are willing to honestly face the heart of
our dilemmas we cannot  change our hearts and approach our
dilemmas openly, honestly,  and willing to learn from  our
own mistakes and experiences.
