     Suppose   that there in fact exist domineering people
who  are  faithful servants of  "The  Domination   System"
which also presumably exists.   Suppose that such faithful
servants   are  idolatrous worshipers of "The   Domination
System"    and that as is usually the case with idolaters,
they  refuse to acknowledge truths  and  integrities which
are complementary to their own.     In keeping with  these
suppositions/hypotheses  it would be reasonable to  expect
such faithful servants to:                                
                                                          
     1.  Be    willing  to  attack  and  sacrifice   other
people's complementary truths and integrities ---   in the
service of their God = "The Domination System".           
                                                          
     2.  Use dishonesty,   deception, coercion,  violence,
and many more alienative tools to advance their "cause."  
                                                          
     3.  Be  suspicious about and not well informed  about
people who are "different"   ---  because their alienation
from  such  people  will  block  all  reliable    mutually
balanced  communications between them and such "different"
people.                                                   
                                                          
     4.  Regard themselves as superior to people who   are
"different"    and  unwilling  to  conform  to prescribed:
attitudes,  assumptions,  beliefs,  rituals,  and behavior
patterns.                                                 
                                                          
     5.  Be   focused upon absolutes which are defined  by
"The Domination System" ---  rather than upon facilitating
and     promoting   intimate   relationships   which   are
characterized   by:    balance,   mutuality,     dialogue,
listening,   cooperation,  conflict-resolution,   honesty,
gentleness, peacemaking, etc.                             
                                                          
     How  can  we  be  sure  that  given  the    indicated
assumptions in the formulation of the hypothesis ---   the
discovery of  "real"   people  who appear  to  be faithful
servants of an apparently real "Domination System"  --- is
not a self-fulfilling prophecy?     How are such people to
be   convinced  that  they have been  treated  fairly  and
honestly?                                                 
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
