     People  often focus much attention upon ethical/moral                                                                    
prescriptions/proscriptions  which  say how  people should                                               
behave in various situations.   Some people prefer to deal                                                       
in  absolutes  and  unconditional  commandments.    Others                                                               
prefer to deal  with  proper  behavior  which depends upon                                                       
situations, contexts  and existential circumstances.    In                
either case there usually remain some unanswered questions                                                                     
which might receive additional attention.                                                                                      
                                                                                                                               
     How    should   defenders   of   the    ethical/moral                                               
prescriptions  and/or  proscriptions respond  when  people                                  
within  their  community  fail to behave  as  they  should                             
because of:                          
                                                                                                                               
            1.  Disability?                                                                                                    
            2.  Ignorance?                                                                                                     
            3.  Confusion?                                                                                                     
            4.  Prejudice?                                                                                                     
            5.  Deprivation?

            8.  Conflicting  Principles?                                              
            9.  Conflicting  Loyalties?                                              
           10.  Conflicting  Beliefs?             
                                                                                                                               
     Usually  ethical/moral systems point the finger  away      
from  the  creators and/or defenders of the systems;   and                         
make few  demands  upon the creators and/or  defenders  in                         
regards  to  how  those  who fail  to  conform  should  be            
treated.    The  inevitable result is the  engendering  of                                                                     
alienation  between the creators/defenders ---  and  those                         
people  who  are judged to have failed  to  conform.    It            
should be noted that alienation is the essence of all that                  
is evil.   Is the  alienation which is commonly engendered                                       
by the creation and defense of ethical and/or moral  codes                         
--- the kind of  outcome which  is in  appropriate to such                                                                     
creations and defense?  By their fruits we shall recognize                         
each kind of effort ---and know how to regard each kind of                                 
effort  with the guidance of the wise council of Love  and
