     It  is not a simple thing to define what is essential                  
to  the  integrity of a healthy community;  and to  define                                                                
what  must be required for members of the community to  be                                                                
loyal to what is essential to the well-being and integrity                  
of  the  community.    It is all  too  tempting  to  adopt                                                                
definitions  which lead to the exclusion of  creative  new                       
ideas,  ideals,  values, persons and visions ---  for they                                         
may  readily  appear to be threats to the "integrity"   of                                                                   
collusive games of mutual self deception, games which seem 
to  be essential to the well-being of the community.                  
                                                                                                                               
     The  creation  and implementation of  definitions  is                         
made  simpler if the definitions focus upon just one or  a                                                                     
very  few  criteria.    The fewer are the  criteria,   the                                                                     
simpler  it is to create and implement  definitions  which                         
will   help members  of the community to reliably identify                                                                
any  idea, ideal, value, principle or person "is" a threat               
to  the well-being  of the community.     Simplicity  also                                                             
makes  it easier   for   controllers   and  other  persons                                                           
who    are  preoccupied  with  issues of control  to  deal                                                           
with  complex issues  ---   by  dealing  only with one  or                                                                     
a   very  few dimensions  of  the  full  reality.      The                                                                     
multi-dimensional  reality  can be projected  upon  a one-                                                                     
dimensional line or  a two-dimensional surface;   and only                                                                     
that span of the  space be considered.                                                                                         
                                                                                                                               
     When  the  complex reality is projected upon  just  a                                                                     
one-dimensional  line it is easy to see which persons  are                                                                 
on  "our end"  of the line,  and which persons are on  the                                                            
"other end"  of the line.   Friends and enemies are easily                                                               
identified  in a one-dimensional world!    The trick is to                                                                     
reduce a complex reality to just  a one-dimensional world;                                                                     
and to get "everybody" to see it that way with us.
