     In  order  to  preserve  communal  integrity,    most
communities need to inhibit disintegrative behavior on the
part  of  individuals  who do not  seek  to  promote  both
personal   and  communal  integrity---or   are   confused,
misguided,  or ignorant about how to promote both personal
and communal integrity.    Not everybody can be free to do
whatever  they  choose,   regardless of how  it  threatens
personal and communal integrity.

     In  some  communities,  some dominant people who  are
preoccupied with issues of control,  generate a repressive
pattern of assumptions,  beliefs,  convictions,  attitudes
and practices which effectively undermine the  possibility
of people honestly describing their experiences,  desires,
dreams,  hopes,  aspirations, fantasies, needs,  etc.    A
community dominated by individuals preoccupied with issues
of   control  and  conformity  cannot  make  well-informed
decisions  ---because  critically  important   information
cannot  flow freely through open and honest dialogue which
entails personal vulnerability.   People are not secure in
the sense of being free to be safely vulnerable.    People
are  constantly either being threatened,  or are  "on  the
defensive,"  resulting in repressed communications.  These
repressions  might  make critically important  information
unavailable  ---  information which is needed to make wise
decisions, in informed ways.
