     Dichotomous  thinkers are often certain that for them                                                                     
to    be  winners  ---   others    must    be     publicly                                                               
recognized   as complementary  losers.     Without  losers                                                                     
there   are    no winners.     Losers cannot  be  winners.                                                                     
Winners  cannot  be losers.     Thus dichotomous  thinkers                                                                     
are unwilling to talk about:                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                               
     1.  Soldiers  on  the winning side who are killed  in                                                                     
the decisive  battle  ---   or  about  their  families  or                                                                     
descendants.                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                               
     2.  Winners in battles over the carrying power of the                                             
land --- which land turns into a desert because they won.  
                                                                                                                               
     3.  People  who  win  the right  to  build  on  flood       
plains, unstable mountain sides  or upon lowlands  next to                                                                     
the  Pacific  Ocean where 100   foot  high ocean waves can                                                                     
devastate every thing in sight.                                                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     4.  People who win the right to live in the shadow of       
an active volcano which they know will not devastate them.                                                                     
                                                                                                                               
     5.  People  who win the right not to be immunized for       
contagious   diseases  ---  a  few year before  a  massive                                                                     
outbreak  of   the  diseases wipes out their families  and                                                                     
others  with them.                                                               
                                                                                                                               
     People are right or wrong, good or evil,   winners or       
losers.    It is not difficult to tell everybody which  is                                                                     
which;   and those who tell with the most  confidence  are                                                                     
winners --- those who are exposed and made scape-goats are                                                                     
losers.      The   losers  are   those  people   who   are                                                                    
embarrassed,  disgraced,  guilted,  shamed,      rejected,                                                                     
despised     of    men,       excluded,    excommunicated,                       
banished,   punished,  tarred,  feathered, sacrificed  ---                                                                     
for the good of the winners  who  cannot truly  be winners                                                                     
in  the absence of the losers  whom  they identify.
