We will be well and do well when we recognize the dangers which are inherent in: 1. Failing to respect people apart from preoccupations with: heredity, personal accomplishments, language, ethnic origin, religion, sex, power, wealth, education, job, disabilities, etc. 2. Using the above kinds of considerations as the basis for deciding who is "in" and who is "out"; who is to be "trusted" and who is to be "suspected." 3. Respecting clubs, organizations, religions, and belief systems --- because of the particular ways in which they are exclusive, respectable, honorable, and manipulative --- in coercive patterns of attitudes, thoughts, communications and behaviors.
