     Each  legitimate  priority is legitimate only  within
specific contexts which give it meaning, legitimacy, and a
way of demonstrating integrity, coherence and legitimacy.

     Continuing  a  fine  tea party is  not  a  legitimate
priority  in a private home --- where the upper floors are
engulfed in flames and smoke is making guests suffer.

     Continuing a fine church  worship  service  is  not a
legitimate  priority in a building ---  where the  steeple
has been struck by lightning and is engulfed in flames.

     Continuing an arrogantly started and administered war
is not a legitimate priority --- when the vast majority of
the members of the crew of Spaceship Earth view the war as
not having any legitimacy.

     Continuing   a   pattern   of   fossil-fuel-dependent
economic  growth  is not a legitimate priority  ---   when
close to half of  Spaceship-Earth's-Fossil-Fuels have been
exhausted  and there are significant signs of  inhumanely-
augmented Global: Warming, Sea-level-rising, Major-Weather
changes, Population-Growth, etc.

     Continuing  a  pattern of  INHIBITING  Humane-Family-
Planning  is  not a legitimate priority  ---   when  major
fractions  of  the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth are forced  to
live   on  well-known-flood-plains,    tsunami-vulnerable-
coasts, hurricane-vulnerable-coasts, and  flood-threatened
major cities around the world's ocean coasts.

     Maintaining   a   pattern   of    inhibiting   honest
discussions    of    the   risks    of    ignorant  sexual
experimentation ---  is   not a  legitimate  priority  ---
when  many  adolescents  are  engaged  in ignorant-sexual-
experimentation   which  leads in   well known ways to the
disintegration of families, human-relationships, personal-
relationships,   and  religious-relationships.

     Continuing the policy of mutually-assured-destruction
with tens of thousands of Hydrogen and Atomic BOMBS is not
a  legitimate  priority ---  when there are many far  less
risky  ways of working toward the resolution of  conflicts
between   mutually  complementary  high  ideals,   values,
principles, virtues and visions.

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