     The  only  people who defend impratical:  procedures,
rituals, religious-beliefs and  traditions   --- are those
people who do not consider the net-benefits for all people
who are involved.   They dismiss the costs to  people  who
are weak,  poor,  ignorant,  confused,  marginalized,  and
powerless.    They are ready,  willing and able to justify
impractical:   procedures, rituals, religious-beliefs, and
traditions --- because they individually reap net-benefits
to themselves through domineering:  procedures,   rituals,
religious-beliefs, and traditions.

     Self-righteous  and  arrogant people see no  need  to
consider the community-wide benefits to all members of the
crew  of  Space-Ship-Earth.     It is enough for  them  to
consider   the  net-benefits  to  themselves  in  ignorant
isolation.    Thus   they   readily   justify   spiritual,
traditional,  holy and sacred:   procedures,   rituals and
long-honored-commandments  --- which  do  not  yield  net-
benefits-to-the-community-as-a-whole within all  of Space-
Ship-Earth.

     For  such  self-righteous,  arrogant and  domineering
people --- it is o.k. to affirm impractical procedures ---
just  so  long  as they individually  come  out  ahead  as
successful:  capitalists, investors,  corporation-owners,
politically-dominant-leaders and religiously-dominant-ones
--- in grand-isolation.   To them alienation, estrangement
and misunderstandings are not  computed as contributing to
a overall negative-bottom-line.    Communal-Wide-Holistic
considerations play no role  in identifying what is: Holy,
Sacred  and Worthy of Reverence as  the  Essential-Virtues
which   are   the  Foundations  of   Personal-and-Communal
Integrations and Integrities. They build their mansions on
the sands.

               For them Capitalism is The-Way

     When the distribution of Great-Profits to the Owners-
of-Corporations  is the Ultimate-Concern it is  impossible
to be at Greatly-Concerned about:

     1.  Distributive-Justice,
     2.  Holistic-Communal-Integrations,
     3.  Holy-Communal-Integrities,
     4.  Reverence-for-The-Meek,
     5.  Reverence-for-Honest-Dialogue,
     6.  Reverence-for-Authenticity,
     7.  Reverence-for-Personal-Integrations,
     8.  Reverence-for-Personal-Integrities,
     9.  Sacred-Patterns-of-Mutuality,
    10.  Sacred-Patterns-of-Cooperation.

     The  Impersonal-Stock-Holders  are the Foundations-of
Corporations  that claim that they are so vulnerable  that
they  should  have  all the Sacred-Rights  of  Vulnerable-
Individuals-Persons whom  they as  Impersonal-Corporations
Readily-Abuse.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
