Try to determine which of the Domineering- Coalitions is "Superior" and which are "Inferior"? 2. Try to determine which of the Domineering- Coalitions is most likely to "win", and gamble that by joining it, we will also "win"? 3. Try to determine which of Domineering-Coalitions is on God's-Side, and which of them is on the Devil's Side? 4. Try to determine which of the Domineering- Coalitions is most likely to work Graciously to Truly- Resolve-Conflicts, and associate ourselves with it in its Domineering-Efforts? 5. Discern A-More-Gracious-Way to help Transcend- the-Conflicts Between-Domineering-People; and work to fulfill its mission in integrative ways.

In his book, Wink wrote that in 1988 about one third of the crew of Space-Ship-Earth were significantly liberated by non-violent-revolutions; and that in the 1900s two-thirds of the crew of Space-Ship-Earth were significantly liberated by non-violent-revolutions. What are the True-Facts? What True-Facts were reported in the news media? Which True-Facts were NOT reported in the news media? In each case, why? How are we to understand the pattern of incomplete news reports about those Gracious Revolutions? (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
