     Domineering  people do not justify the need  for  the 
use  of domination,  coercion and violence in terms  which 
transcend  and/or complement their domineering:  paradigm, 
attitudes,    assumptions,   technologies,    technocracy, 
concentrations of power, etc.  They "beg the question"  of 
how necessary domination, coercion and violence are.  They 
regard authority-to-respond as vested only in the hands of 
domineering people and the products of domineering people. 
To help and facilitate transcending such  "begging  of the 
questions" and concentrations of power --- NON-domineering 
people need to insist on defending: 
     
     1.  Nation's and  states'  constitutions,   "Bills of 
Rights"   and the United Nations' Declaration of Universal 
Human rights. 

     2.  Considerations of the importance of both personal 
integrities   and   communal  integrities   as   essential 
foundations for meaningful survival.
     
     3.  The authority of common people's discernments  of 
the  implications  of their own personal  experiences  and 
understandings  of  their own relationships pertaining  to 
the attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, convictions, and actions 
of domineering people. 
     
     4.  The  practice of focusing upon EVIL as an  aspect 
of  human-RELATIONSHIPS,   rather  than as  an  aspect  of 
isolated-individual-people; e.g., rather than as an aspect 
of isolated people who  have been excommunicated/alienated 
by domineering people. 

     5.  The  principle that when domineering  people  are 
brought   to  trial  for  crimes  against   people's   and 
communities' integrities --- domineering people should NOT 
be granted the right: to write or choose the laws in terms 
of which  the domineering are to be tried,  or  to appoint 
the  prosecuting  attorneys,  or to  appoint the presiding 
judge,   or to name the members of the jury,  or to decide 
who  can watch  the trial,  or to write  the  news reports 
about the trial. 
     
     6.  The  principle  that goodness  and  righteousness 
cannot  with integrity be defined in terms of any kind  of 
conformity,  no matter how "good"  may be the ideal-forms, 
laws,  rules, regulations,  prescriptions,  proscriptions, 
etc.                        
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
