     Each  of  us  has a limited capacity to  be  involved
meaningfully in intimate relationships with other  persons
--- due to our limited time, energy, maturity,  knowledge,
experience, understanding, interest, etc.  Some supporters
of  "The Domination System"  seek to own and  control  the
limited  capacity  of their chosen people with  whom  they
wish  to   be  involved  in  intimate  relationships   ---
without  any  respect   for   the desires  of  the  chosen
people,   or  with little respect for their desires.  Such
dominant  people do not  recognize or acknowledge that  it
is  impossible  to   be  meaningfully   involved   in   an
intimate  relationship  with anybody  who  does not desire
and seek to be involved with dominant people.             
                                                          
    Some people are ill-suited to be involved in  intimate
relationships  with each other ---  even if they  mutually
wish  and  seek to form intimate relationships  with  each
other.    They  may  not recognize that,   and  much  less
understand why, they are ill-suited to each other; perhaps
because they do not recognize and understand the essential
foundations  for intimate relationships which  demonstrate
both personal and relational integrity.                   
                                                          
     There   are  limits  to what communities can   do  to
make   dominate  people  become    involved   in  intimate
relationships   which  demonstrate   both   personal   and
relational   integrity.    Dominant  people   are  usually
supportive  of "The Domination System"   which  undermines
both   personal  and  communal  integrity  by  undermining
intimate relationships that are honest, open, healthy, and
integrative.
