     In   the   absence   of   public   affirmations   and
facilitations of COOPERATIVE-BEHAVIORS, WIDE-DISTRIBUTIONS
OF  POWER,  and  CHECKS  & BALANCES  ---   there  are many
occasions  (both  natural and contrived)   in which it  is
"natural" for humans to centralize/concentrate power in:

     1.  Heroes,
      2.  Technocrats,
       3.  Domineering leaders,
        4.  Overly self-confident leaders,
         5.  Self-righteous leaders,
          6.  Arrogant leaders,
           7.  Greedy leaders,
            8.  Etc.

     Many common people do not want to:

     1.  Be held responsible,
      2.  Engage in risky-ventures,
       3.  Move beyond their realms of comfort,
        4.  Accept leadership and responsibility,
         5.  Be caught making mistakes,
          6.  Be in the limelight,
           7.  Be the target of domineering people,
            8.  Be the target of criticism,
             9.  Be corrupted by concentrate power.

     For  the above kinds of reasons many people are quite
willing  to  relinquish power and influence to people  who
are more: assertive,  domineering,  bold, daring, foolish,
imprudent  and lacking in wisdom!    Most such people  are
NOT  coherently dedicated to promoting both personal   and
communal integrity.   Be aware, and beware,  of where they
are likely to lead us!

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
