     Why   do domineering people  so often criticize  non-
violent  resistance?    Because non-violent resistance  to
their  domination is the most effective way  to expose the
fact that their domination is based upon foundations which
merit no respect, honor or support; e.g.,

     Works  which  are based upon  the  above  foundations
merit no respect,  honor or support.    Domineering people
who  work  upon the above foundations tempt all people  to
fall  away  from  respect  for:   honesty,   authenticity,
interdependence,    openness,   generosity,    gentleness,
civility, hospitality, integration,  peacemaking,  mutual-
respect, trust, cooperation, etc.                         
                                                          
     Workers  who  believe that dishonest  foundations  do
merit  honor,    respect  and support --- are people   who
very  naturally  fall   into patterns  of  behavior  which
undermine  all  those kinds  of  behaviors,   thinking and
feeling ---which do merit our honor, respect and support. 
                                                          
     Traditional  military  training entails teaching  new
recruits to be willing to:                                
                                                          
     Kill,                                                
       Destroy,                                           
         Lie,                                             
           Deceive,                                       
             Mislead,                                     
               Be-insensitive,                            
                 Confuse,                                 
                   Be-coercive,                           
                     Be-violent,                          
                       Reject-others,                     
                         Distrust-others,                 
                           Disintegrate.                  
                                                          
     Traditional  military training has entailed  teaching
recruits  to  honor,  respect and  support  disintegrative
foundations for coercion,  violence and destruction.    It
should   be no surprise that soldiers who come  home  from
wars ---  often cannot  function   well   in  families and
communities which  rightly  withhold    respect,     honor
and   support   from   such disintegrative foundations.
