                    %DANGEROUS ALIENATED TECHNOCRAT 960407

     Alienated people are dangerous people;   for in their
alienation they are  prone to participate  in assumptions,
attitudes, thoughts, feelings, plans, beliefs, convictions
and groups  of  people---who are prone  towards  behaviors
which are conformal,   coercive,  legalistic,  judgmental,
condemnatory,  excommunicative, violent---and so are often
disintegrative of persons and communities.

     It is  dangerous to be  indifferent towards alienated
people---for there is  then no way of being informed about
them and  so  no  way of  being  able  to anticipate their
behaviors which  are  conformal,   coercive,   legalistic,
judgmental,  condemnatory, excommunicative,  violent;  and
so they are  surprisingly  disintegrative  of  persons and
communities.

     Mass  murderers,   terrorists,   uni-bombers,   child
molesters,  and others illustrate the above truths in many
tragic incidents---in many different  situations.    While
the situations are different;  they all entail  alienation
on the part of the person(s) prone to  behaviors which are
conformal, coercive, legalistic, judgmental, condemnatory,
excommunicative and  violent.

     For  a  community  to  enjoy  communal  integrity all
members  of the community need to  demonstrate concern for
the personal integrity and  connectedness  of every member
of the community---doing so  in ways which are healthy and
which  promote  and facilitate open  and  honest  dialogue
about those matters regarding which  each  member  of  the
community most  deeply  wishes  to  be  in dialogue.  Such
promotion and facilitation does NOT entail behaviors which
are   conformal,   coercive,     legalistic,   judgmental,
condemnatory, excommunicative and  violent;  and  so  they
are surprisingly integrative of persons and communities.
