     Laws,   rules  and commandments are  not consistently
well-recognized as being good and worthy of respect --- so
long  as  poor  people  poorly  understand  the  evidence,
reasons   and  logic  supporting  the  laws,   rules   and
commandments.

     Laws,  rules  and  commandments which  are  not  well
grounded in evidence, experiences and reason known to poor
people --- are not consistently well-recognized  as  being
good  and  worthy  of respect ---  because such  laws  are
easily  used and abused by domineering people who  do  not
respect  or  honor principles of  due-processes  that  are
openly and  honestly acknowledged in the presence of those
poor  people who  are dis-affected by the laws,  rules and
commandments of domineering people.

     The concentrations of power and wealth by domineering
people (religious,  political,  business,  academic, etc.)
undermines  respect  for  unjustly  abused  laws,   rules,
commandments, and communal order.  Concentrations of power
and wealth  lead to the separation of laws,    rules   and
commandments  ---  from evidence,  reasons and logic which
would  otherwise lead poor people to be supportive of  the
laws,    rules  and  commandments.    Many   poor   people
instinctively   understand   that   power   corrupts   and
absolute power corrupts absolutely;  even though they  may
not  be  able  to  say  that  in  ways  that  are  clearly
articulated and understood by powerful and wealthy people.

     Great concentration of power and  wealth  lead to the
evolution  of communal instabilities and revolutions which
bring an end to the concentration of power and wealth  ---
at  great  cost  to most people  in  the  communities  ---
because of consequent disintegrations  of  individual  and
communal integrities and relationships.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
