     1.  Dishonesty  is   an   example  of   one   way  of
lacking integrity;    but  it  is  not  the  only  way  of
lacking integrity.     We will do well and be well when we
discern, name,   describe  and  talk about other  ways  of
lacking  integrity  ---   and deal with  them  openly  and
honestly.    The  following  suggest  some  other  related
ways  of  lacking integrity.                              
                                                          
     2.  Going  to   unbalanced   extremes   in  affirming
selected truths in exclusive ways.                        
                                                          
     3.  Seeking to appear to be other than we really are.
                                                          
     4.  Engaging  in    calculated,   manipulative and/or
coercive  maneuvers in efforts to achieve  dominance  over
others   at  their  expense ---   to  our  own  unbalanced
advantage.                                                
                                                          
     5.  Refusing to honor,  respect,   acknowledge,    or
attend  to  our  own and/or other persons'   own  personal
perceptions, experiences and associated memories.         
                                                          
     6.  Clinging  tenaciously  to  traditions,    truths,
theories and hypotheses which we treat as absolutely valid
and beyond the range of proper questions and doubts.      
                                                          
     7.  Holding selected individuals as responsible   for
the consequences of communally unattended common diseases,
epidemics,   plagues,  and collusive games of mutual  self
deception.                                                
                                                          
     8.  Attempting to  use powerful  and/or sophisticated
technical  means to "solve"  our "problems"  which are  in
reality   reflexive   dilemmas;   e.g.,   situations   and
relationships which are characterized by conflicts between
values,   ideals,  principles, myths, theologies,   goals.
No technical "solutions"  can exist for dilemmas which are
NOT technical problems.

personal-relationships, science, technologies, weapons and
physical   objects   in  efforts  to   achieve    security
conceived in terms of invulnerability.                    
                                                          
     10.  Presuming  to serve as God's   specially  chosen
agents --- entrusted with special: knowledge, revelations,
insights, diplomatic-powers and responsibilities --- which
transcend those of other people.                          
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in
