     It   makes-sense   to   regard   domination   as   a
communicable-disease; because:

      1.  Domination-as-a-pattern-of-internal-processes-
and-behavior is "transmitted"  from "infected-people" who
are "ill-at-ease"  ("dis-eased")  to other people who are
"not-yet-ill-at-ease" ("not-yet-dis-eased").

      2.  Domination  desensitizes those who affected  by
the   dis-ease   because  people   who   are   sensitive,
sympathetic  and empathetic towards vulnerable people ---
are not in a good  position to take advantage of enemies'
and evil-people's various-kinds-of vulnerabilities; their
Achilles-Heels.

      3.  Domination-engenders-mental-illnesses   through
the   "practical"   and  "utilitarian"    disintegrative-
processes of  "essential"   collusions,   addictions  and
codependence within militarism, terrorism, wars, weapons-
of-mass-destruction,       fundamentalism, unilateralism,
dichotimization,  threats, excommunications, punishments,
etc.

      4.  It is tragically difficult for non-domineering-
people  to  avoid becoming  infected   with  domineering-
ways   ---  while in the presence  of  domineering-people
who   by-their-presence  threaten  healthy   true-lovers'
personal-and-communal-integrations-and-integrities; i.e.,
transmit-domineering-agents through the vices of:  greed,
unilateralism, narcissism,  controls,  demands, commands,
expectations, prescriptions,  proscriptions,  conformity,
etc.

      5.  It  does-not-make-sense  to think/believe  that
all reflexive-diseases must have objective-living-objects
such as bacteria, viruses, moulds,  prions, etc. that are
the objective-causes of the reflexive-diseases.   Not all
reflexive-mental-illnesses    are   rooted   in   clearly
identified objective-causes.  What is the objective cause
of dichotimizations?  How is dichotomization to be cured?
How  is  compulsive-objectifiction/quantification  to  be
cured? What are such diseases' objective-agents?

      6.  At   the  time  of  physicist-Pasteur  it   was
tempting  to  try to find the purely chemical  causes  of
each disease, and  it  was  not obvious that there  could
exist  micro-organisms  which  could not yet be seen with
the unaided eye.    Now  it  is not-yet-obvious  that the
reflexive-realities   of  evil-relationships-among-people
can be both the causes of, and the consequences of, many-
reflexive-diseases   through   cyclic-reflexive-processes
which  have no thoroughly-objective-causes/agents yet-to-
be-seen with thoroughly-aided-objective-means.

      7.  Domineering  people  think/believe that  it  is
good for many/most people  to be ill-at-ease,  dis-eased,
with    diseases   which   make   them   vulnerable    to
domination/control by domineering people.   Conformity to
such   thinking  and/or  believing  is  advantageous   to
domineering-people;  or so they think/believe.   Can such
dis-eased   people  heal  themselves?    Is   there   any
motivation for such people  to heal each other?   Why, or
why not?

      8.  Successful-Domination   leads   inevitably   to
alienation-and-evil-relationships ---  since domineering-
people   cannot  be  "successful"   in  the  presence  of
vulnerability-on-the-part-of those who  must-be-dominant-
and-in-control  ---  in  the absence-of-dangerous-virtues
such  as:  honesty,  balance,  mutuality,   hospitatlity,
collaboration, cooperation,     teamwork,   authenticity,
genuineness, truthfulness, realness, etc.

      9.  The-Dominant-Paradigm/System  Originates-Within
and Leads-Into Many-Evil-Relationships and Demonstrations-
of-Many-Vices.

     10.  The-Liberation-Paradigm/System      Originates-
Within and  Leads-Into   Many-Healthy-Relationships   and
Demonstrations-of-Many Virtues.

     As  we approach general elections we will do well to
prepare for voting by seeking to discern among candidates
for  public  office ---  which  candidates are  affirming
through  their  words  and deeds  The Liberation Paradigm
and/or System;  and  which  candidates  are affirming The
Domination    Pradigm   and/or   System   through   their
contrasting words and deeds.

     Which candidates demonstrate honesty,  coherence and
integrity?    Which  candidates  are being  supported  by
people who demonstrate honesty, coherence and integrity?

     Which  candidates  demonstrate  a  full  spectrum of
mutually complementary  virtues  in  a  balanced and intg
way.      Which   other   candidates   demonstrate   many
disintegrative  vices  in domineering  and disintegrative
ways?
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
