      Each   person  who  lives in the  presence  of  "The
Domination  System"   with its codependent  supporters ---
daily   makes  choices  regarding how to  respond  to  the
system and its supporters:                                
                                                          
     1.  Show   full  respect  for  the  system  and   its
supporters   and become a domineering supporter of it  and
them.                                                     
                                                          
     2.  Tolerate   "The  Domination  System"    and   its
supporters,   but perform required rituals with as  little
enthusiasm  as will be tolerated in return.     Give  only
tacit support and respect as long as possible.            
                                                          
     3.  Become  an  overt and outspoken critic  of   "The
Domination  System"    and seek to overthrow  it  and  its
domineering supporters ---   by working to destroy it  and
them  in  any  way  possible and at whatever  cost  may be
required.                                                 
                                                          
     4.  Become   a  disciplined  member  of  a   gracious
community   of resistors who are pledged to use only  non-
violent  means  to understand,  transcend,    subvert  and
redeem  "The  Domination  System",   and  its  domineering
supporters both individually and corporately.             
                                                          
     1.  Way   one   augments  "The  Domination    System"
directly and overtly.                                     
                                                          
     2.  Way   two  delays  overt  augmentation  of   "The
Domination   System"    but  does  little  or  nothing  to
understand,    transcend,  subvert or redeem the lives  of
anybody affected.                                         
                                                          
     3.  Way three puts on an appearance of opposing  "The
Domination  System"    while behaving in domineering  ways
which affirm all that "The Domination System" stands for. 
                                                          
     4.  Way   four   is  the  only  viable  way    toward
understanding,  transcendence,  subversion and redemption.
It  entails the least long-term risk for all people;   and
the only firm grounds for long-term hope.   But only brave
people who know who they are in Love can travel way   four
with   any  confidence that they can be secure  with  each
other in vulnerable ways which transcend and subvert  "The
Domination System"   and the powers that belie its  tragic
weakness in the face of the power of Love.                
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
