     Domineering people  have often demanded  that they be
granted the right to unilateral and exclusive control of: 
                                                          
      1.  Women and children,                             
                                                          
      2.  The MEANING of scriptural texts,                
                                                          
      3.  The MEANING of other written statements,        
                                                          
      4.  The MEANING of words which have been spoken,    
                                                          
      5.  The MEANING of overtly symbolic acts/rituals,   
                                                          
      6.  The MEANING of possibly symbolic acts/rituals,  
                                                          
      7.  Human associations, friendships and intimacies, 
                                                          
      8.  Rights to associate, communicate, meet together,

     10.  Cosmologies, myths, descriptions, & collusions. 
                                                          
     How  can we lay down and maintain the foundations for
both  personal  and communal integrities ---  when we  are
confronted by domineering people who demand rights such as
pointed   to  above?     By  echoing  their  patterns   of
domineering attitudes,  assumptions,  beliefs and demands?
Probably not!                                             
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
