They are often reacting to libertarian kinds of extremists who have reacted to previous legalistic controllers/extremists, etc., etc., etc. Legalistic controllers/extremists through their exclusivity alienate themselves from complementary other kinds of people --- who might help them to live balanced lives with personal and communal integrity --- in healthy harmony with others who are different. Legalistic controllers/extremists systematically avoid peacemaking, conflict resolution, cooperation, team-work, and concern for healthy balance. In reaction to legalistic controllers/extremists other creative people rebel in search of less alienative ways of life; and often go to libertarian extremes which show no respect for helpful: guard-rails, guide-lines, suggestions, ideals, values, principles, proscriptions, prescriptions, rules and regulations which are held in prudent balance---with prudent consideration of creative individual differences between people and their relationships. Some people, however, do show through word and deed, prudent respect for helpful: guard-rails, guide-lines, suggestions, ideals, values, principles, proscriptions, prescriptions, rules and regulations which are held in prudent balance with prudent consideration of creative individual differences between people and their relationships. Their approach and manner leaves much room for creative behaviors within the boundaries drawn by helpful: guard- rails, guide-lines, suggestions, ideals, values, principles, proscriptions, prescriptions, rules and regulations which are held in prudent balance with prudent consideration of creative individual differences between people and their relationships.
