    Domineering   leaders   of   all   kinds   (religious,
segregationist,    political,   capitalists,   communists,
militarists,  etc.) fight  over  who will be in control of
the  criteria/laws under which people may legitimately  be
contentious  about  who is "good",   "superior",    "best"
and/or "saved"; and who is "bad", "worse", "worst", and/or
"evil".

    Some  of  the  dominant  questions/issues  which  have
governed the rules over what is legitimate-contentiousness
have included:

    1.  Who can be most destructive and threatening?

    2.  Who can be most possessive/manipulative?

    3.  Who can own and control the most slaves?

    4.  Who can promote "ideal-forms" most effectively?

    5.  Who can dictate conformity most effectively?

    6.  Who can label evil-individuals most arrogantly?

    7.  Who can best control friendships & family lives?

    8.  Who can best control distributions of wealth?

    9.  Who can best control distributions of power?

   10.  Who can best control the uses of political power?

   11.  Who is best at being self-righteous and respected.

   12.  Who can best control intimate relationships?

   13.  Who can most respectably violate privacy rights?

   14.  Who best controls good collusive dishonesty-games?

   15.  Who best controls who is seen as being "evil"?

   16.  Who best conceals their own evil-relationships?

   17.  Who best conceals their own arrogance?

   18.  Who best conceals their own self-righteousness?

   19.  Who is best at making arrogance look respectable?

   20.  Who best makes power-concentrations look good?

   21.  Who is most exclusive and pure in spiritual acts?

    True-Lovers as honest peacemakers disturb  domineering
people  by honestly describing how it is that  domineering
people successfully concentrate: honors,  respect, wealth,
powers, influence, dishonesty, good-appearances, etc.  ---
while  guiding  "The  Powers That Be"  of "The  Domination
System"   which  they  worship as their god that  controls
their own: attitudes,  assumptions,  prejudices,  beliefs,
narcissism, ignorance and self-images.   It all makes good
sense  in  light of their great past successes which  have
led to their alienations from the people who have suffered
the consequent tragic  disintegrations  of  most  of their
personal  and  communal integrities.   They are blind  and
cannot  see or understand what is happening;  so they want
to be in-control, like other "honorable" people have been.

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