The Shaking of ALL of the Foundations of ALL traditional ethics, morality, righteousness, and spirituality --- became the Ultimate-Order-of-The-Day. When virtually all religious, political, scientific, moral, scholarly and business leaders assent, OVERTLY AND/OR TACITLY, to the logic of Mutually Assured Destruction of Space-Ship-Earth --- it is --- exposed for what idolatry is, and what will be idolatry's ultimately and tragically disintegrative fruits. Be-aware of and beware-of all religious, political, scientific, scholarly, business, moral, ethical, moral and spiritual leaders who fail to change --- in spite of what has become the Ultimate-Special-Order-Of-The-Day. To the extent that powerful people are WILLING to use their powers to disintegrate the integrities of people and communities that are poor, weak, thirsty, hungry, homeless, and vulnerable --- to that extent they AND ALL that they stand for --- lose ALL grounds for respect, honor, support, and reverence. Domination, controls, conformity and obedience are NEVER essential foundations for personal or communal integrities or integrations. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
