What do such realities have in common? Why do people try to eliminate and/or control such realities? Can we with personal and communal integrity work to eliminate and/or control such "evil" realities? To be more specific: Can we, with personal and communal integrity, work to: 1. Forbid and/or proscribe such realities; i.e., make them illegal within our particular community? 2. Forbid and/or proscribe open and honest discussion about being involved with and/or knowledgeable about such realities? 3. Make such realities taboo; i.e., make involvement with them and/or knowledge about them in a personal way --- be sufficient grounds for excommunication, banishment, shunning, exclusion from open and honest dialogue, exclusion from positions of influence and power, etc? 4. Make such realities off-bounds to scientists who are interested in doing research into how people's efforts to dominate and/or control such realities --- lead to human relationships of chaos, alienation, estrangement, entrapment, misunderstanding, prejudice, ignorance, confusion, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
