     It is clear that throughout human history there have 
     been:                                                
                                                          
     1.  Differences among people as regards skin-color,  
           strengths, weaknesses, languages, religious    
             practices, sexual-behaviors, etc.            
                                                          
     2.  Differences among people as to how               
           comfortable they have been with                
             the above differences; and in regards to     
               what different people feel/believe/think   
                 should be done about their differences.  
                                                          
     3.  Some people regard human differences as offering 
           wonderful opportunities for cooperation among  
             differing people -- who bring many different 
               skills which are all needed in order to    
                 achieve agreed-upon desirable goals.     
                                                          
     4.  Some people regard human differences as          
           departures from ideal-forms-of-being and       
             relationships --- and so as threats to       
               their own ideal-forms of law, order,       
                 personal propriety and communal well-    
                   ordered relationships.                 
                                                          
     5.  Some people engage in endless conflicts over     
           how to create well-ordered communities which   
             are governed by reliable-leaders who are     
               dedicated and loyal to well articulated    
                 rules about how people should-be as      
                   individuals - and how they should-be   
                     together in well-ordered stable      
                       relationships --- which fulfill    
                         agreed-upon-standards that must  
                           be enforced with force,        
                              coercion and threats of     
                                punishment --- in cases   
                                  where different-people  
                                    insist on being       
                                      different in their  
                                        own mutually      
                                          chosen and      
                                            desired ways. 
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
