World-View's foundations and basic structures. 2. Essential myths and stories of accomplishments. 3. Appearances of integrity and superiority. 4. Favorite technologies of control and coercion. 5. Ways of achieving security==invulnerability. 6. Preferred addictions and codependent supporters. 7. Best collusive-games of mutual-self-deception. 8. Unexamined assumptions, biases and attitudes. 9. Wealth of privileges, rights and luxuries. 10. Abilities to control people and relationships. Supporters of "The Domination System" often assume, feel and believe that they have rights-of-tranquility and so believe that they should not be exposed to any of the ten threats which are suggested above. When their rights-of-tranquility are violated --- it is other people's fault, and the people-at-fault should be punished for their crimes. Dominators feel the discomfort, embarrassment, and cognitive dissonance are properly dealt with through discipline and controls. Such is the nature of their reality and of their rights. None of them should be allowed to change. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
