  %INADEQUATE RESPONSE DECISION ACTION PROGRAM PLAN 950129

     Often  we  are prone to regard responses to us and to
our communal situations as  inadequate;  but  we are often
unaware   of how our judgment of inadequacy flows from our
own   misleading:   assumptions,   questions,   attitudes,
beliefs,  convictions,  ideal, values,  expectations,  and
fears.      Inadequacy  of  response  may  flow  from  the
inadequacy of our approach in assessing the response,   as
well as from the nature of the response which we assess.

     We will do well to seek to be in dialogue with people
who  can  help  us  to recognize  the  inadequacy  of  our
approach to assessing responses.   The people who are most
likely  to  be able to help us to lessen  our  bias,   are
people  who   are  different  from  us;     people   whose
views   are  complementary  to ours,  if  not  clearly  in
contrast to ours.
 will not   transcend
our  prejudicial  biases,   and will not assess  responses
wisely.  If we do not  assess responses wisely,  we cannot
learn from mistakes, and  are prone to repeat them without
recognizing  that  we  are repeating  mistakes  previously
made.
