     Not  all rules,  laws,  mandates and commandments ---
merit our respect, honor and/or support.                  
                                                          
     Not  all  ways  of enforcing  "good"   rules,   laws,
mandates  and commandments ---  merit our respect,   honor
and/or support.                                           
                                                          
     Not all "enforcers"  of "good" rules, laws,  mandates
and  commandments  ---  merit our respect,   honor  and/or
support;  be they police,  attorneys, lawyers, judges,  or
administrators.                                           
                                                          
     Upon  what kinds of grounds --- may we with  personal
and  communal integrity ---   withhold our respect,  honor
and/or support in the above kinds of situations?          
                                                          
     1.  When  narcissistic,   egocentric  and/or  selfish
considerations play dominant roles.                       
                                                          
     2.  When   dishonesty,   arrogance,    secretiveness,
pretentiousness,   meanness,   self-righteousness,  mental
illness, rage, revenge, and closely related disintegrative
considerations play dominant roles.                       
                                                          
     3.    When  "The  Domination  System"    is   playing
dominant roles.                                           
                                                          
     4.  When  there  is  a  persistent disconnect between
modern     experiences/evidence     and    the     writing
and/or   enforcement   of  rules,   laws,    mandates  and
commandments.                                             
                                                          
     5.  When the  motivations  for  the  writing  and the
enforcement of rules are not clearly related to protecting
both personal and communal integrities.                   
                                                          
     6.  When  there  is  a  disconnect  between  gracious
efforts  to  resolve conflicts, and the efforts to enforce
contentious rules, laws, mandates and commandments.       
                                                          
     7.  When   the   enforcers   are   preoccupied   with
dichotomous  thinking  which  focuses  compulsively  upon:
right/wrong, good/evil, white/black,  salvation/damnation,
heaven/hell,    acceptable/punishable,  included/excluded,
friend/enemy, loyalist/traitor, etc.                      
                                                          
     8.  When   the  enforcers  are   mean,    legalistic,
judgmental,    technocratic,    insensitive,     insecure,
defensive, destructive, arrogant, self-righteous, etc.    
                                                          
     9.  When open,  honest,  gracious, constructive,  and
integrative  ways of dealing with  challenging  situations
--- are being ignored  and/or  neglected ---   in favor of
secretive,   deceptive,      mean,    coercive,   violent,
destructive   and   dis-integrative procedures.           
                                                          
    10.   When overall responses to enforcement procedures
---    make     difficult     situations    even     more:
difficult, alienative,   contentious,   coercive,  violent
and    dis-integrative  of  both  personal  and   communal
integrities.                                              
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
