     Often we ignore individual persons'  gifts, abilities
and  desires ---   and let one caste/class of  people  own
and/or  control people of other "lesser"   castes/classes;
e.g.,   men have owned/controlled girls/women,   and white
people have owned/controlled blacks,  etc.   Whole systems
of scriptures/ethics/morality have developed in terms   of
such  a  traditional "Domination System"   which  mandates
that its caste/class system be taken for granted,  tacitly
accepted, and never called into question or challenged.   
                                                          
     Often  caste and classification systems exist only in
terms  of traditions and informal understandings of   "how
things are",   and "must be".   In time some such informal
systems have been formalized and incorporated into  formal
systems  of law;   without regard for the consequences  to
both  personal and communal integrities ---   or what  the
system does to personal and communal integrities.         
                                                          
     In   a domineering community conformists may be  seen
as being supporters of "The Domination System";  so "good"
conformists  may  be the targets of rebellion on the  part
of   creative   people   whose  integrities  have     been
violated.    Some  creative rebellious people may seek  to
avoid  being seen as "good conformists."    They may rebel
against  patterns  of prudent behavior which are essential
to   both  personal and communal integrities  ---     just
because    they  are   required   patterns   of   behavior
imposed   by  "good conformists"      who  are   seen   as
supporters  of   "The Domination  System".    Within their
community it  may  be very difficult to sort our  reasons,
causes,     effects and rationalizations ---  as   regards
interpersonal/reflexive relationships.                    
                                                          
     Be  aware of and beware of people who avoid   talking
about   their  own  relationships with  other  people  ---
focusing  instead  upon  other  people  who  as   separate
individuals  are  "different".     Such  critics  seek  to
prevent  other   people from becoming aware of  how   they
themselves  as critics contribute  to their own alienation
from  other  people  who are "different";   and so to  the
alienation of other people who  are "different".    Hyper-
critical people hide how they contribute to both  personal
and communal patterns of disintegration.                  
                                                          
     The  above observations are misunderstood if they are
taken to imply that other observations must be set   aside
for the above observations to be accepted; or vice versa. 
                                                          
     The    above   observations   are   best   taken   as
descriptions;       not   as   implying  or  imposing  any
prescriptions,  proscriptions,    formulas,   formalities,
or   proper forms/styles  of  living together inside    of
Space-Ship-Earth".
