     There are many "good things" which can be:           
                                                          
     1.  Affirmed  as   essential foundations for personal
and communal integrity -- and can can also be:            
                                                          
     2.  Abused  as  manipulative tools in the service  of
"The Domination System."                                  
                                                          
     Such "good things"  are not inherently "good"  in and
of themselves.   They do not merit our respect,  honor and
support apart from how they are affirmed, used, or abused.
                                                          
     People  of  integrity who are  truly  affirming  such
"good  things"   do so in ways and within  contexts  which
invite our respect, honor and support.                    
                                                          
     People  who  are  in the service of  "The  Domination
System"   abuse  such  "good things"  in ways  and  within
contexts   which  invite  us  to  find  gracious  ways  to
transcend, subvert and redeem "The Domination System"  and
all  of  the  people  who  are  in  the  service  of  "The
Domination System" in alienative ways.                    
                                                          
     "The  Domination  System"   constructs  patterns   of
attitudes, assumptions,  thoughts,  relationships,  ideas,
ideals,   values and principles ---  which imprison us and
others  who are vulnerable.   People need to be  liberated
from  such prisons and helped to become healed,  liberated
and reconciled.                                           
                                                          
     We   need  to  work  diligently  and  gracefully   to
transcend  and subvert the disintegrative patterns created
by supporters of "The Domination System".                 
                                                          
     We need to  work  diligently and gracefully to reduce
people's  vulnerabilities to "The Domination System"   ---
for  "The  Domination System"  works to increase  people's
levels and kinds  of vulnerabilities.   This has long been
true   for  children,   women  who  care   for   children,
minorities,   and  creative people who fail to  play  many
respected  collusive  games of mutual self  deception  and
conformity.                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
