In each generation, time and place there are META issues, conflicts and disagreements --- which get less attention; e.g., ACCEPTED styles of: domination, coercion, control, governance, violence, war, destruction, subjugation, alienation, exclusion, etc. Here what is accepted is controlled by those leaders who are MOST COVERTLY INVOLVED in what is ACCEPTED. The major META issues, conflicts and disagreements pertain to "The Domination System" and how much honor, respect and support should be granted to the supporters of "The Domination System". The major META issues pertain to obscuring, confusing, and repressing awareness of the nature of the major META issues. The major META issues pertain to honoring, respecting and supporting leaders who are: addictive, codependent, collusive and/or overt/covert supporters of "The Domination System". The major META issues are not clarified by use of terms such as: liberal, conservative; Democratic, Republican; religious, non-religious; Buddhist, Hindu, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant, Fundamentalist, Evangelical; Capitalist, Engineer, Communist, Scientist, Consumerist, Environmentalist. Such terms point to the poles of particular provincial conflicts within contentious populations. The people who engage in such conflicts usually agree with each other about the need for standards, conformity, discipline, dominance, controls, coercion, and violence. They do not however understand, transcend, or subvert the META issues, conflicts and disagreements which are related to "The Domination System" and to how much honor, respect and support should be granted to the supporters of "The Domination System".
