 %FRAGMENTIVE EXTREMISM BEHAVIOR RELATIONS SIN EVIL 980423                                       
                                                                                                                               
     The  effect of extremism is to fragment  communities,                                                                
relationships,   people and environments.   That which  is                                                              
whole is torn apart into pieces.   Members of  communities  
learn NOT  to trust each other;  but rather to gather into  
mutually exclusive: associations,  teams,  churches,   and                       
armies. People and communities which have enjoyed personal                                                                
and communal integrity learn to fear intimacy  in open and                     
honest dialogue ---  for such intimacy entails the freedom                     
to be safely vulnerable;  rather  than security based upon                                                                     
invulnerability.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
     Extremists' preoccupation with issues of control lead                                                           
them to oppose each other ---  out of fear of each other's                                                               
differences  which  they are unwilling to become  familiar                                     
with  by  participating  in intimate  relationships  which                     
transcend issues of control.    About the only thing  they                                                           
have  in common is their going to extremes in  ways  which      
fragment   communities,    relationships,    people    and                                                              
environments.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                               
     Extremists relate to people in ways which tear people      
apart   by   engendering  within  people   many   mutually               
inconsistent ideas, ideals,  values,  assumptions, beliefs             
and  convictions.    Since extremists are not dedicated to                                                                     
(or interested  in)  true  conflict  resolution  ---  they                      
discourage   conflict   resolution.    Open   and   honest                                              
discussions  of  differences and conflicts between  people                                     
and between communities cannot be  permitted ---  for such                                                                
discussions would  undermine  the false  appearances which                                                    
extremists are try to create and maintain.   Conflicts are                         
engendered WITHIN individual people,  conflicts  which are                             
mirror images  of  conflicts  BETWEEN  differing  people's                                     
ideas,    ideals,   values,   assumptions,   beliefs   and             
convictions.   Resolutions  of those conflicts  cannot  be                                              
permitted for the same reason as above.                                                                                        
                                                                                                                               
     Extremists  naturally  fall  into  playing  collusive  
games of mutual self deception within  evil  relationships 
which  are  characterized  by alienation from each  other.                                        
The rules of those games dictate that:                                                                                         
                                                                                                                               
     1.  Games of mutual self deception do not exist. 
     2.  The rules of the games must not be revealed.                                                                          
     3.  The rules of the games must be obeyed fully.                                                                          
     4.  Dishonesty about the game must be concealed.                               
     5.  Nobody may be permitted to drop out of the games.                                                                     
     6.  People who violate the rules must die.                                                                    
     7.  People who die must appear to continue to live.                                                                    
     8.  Participants must appear better than others.                           
                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
