     People  differ  as  regards their beliefs  about  the
ultimate nature of and origin of rules, regulations, laws,
etc.     Those  differences may be suggested  directly  or
indirectly by the following statements  which  are clearly
not  internally  consistent with each other:

     1.  Participants  in any relationship should be  free
to  abide by rules mutually agreed upon without  coercion;
within evolving covenants.

     2.  People should  obey eternal  rules made by God in
the beginning of time and given unilaterally to men, to
govern men and women.

     3.  People  must  obey the rules which  have  evolved
over  centuries  within their  traditional  dominant  male
religious leaders and meetings.

     4.  Proper  rules  and laws exist as realities  which
are independent of human choices and desires.

     5.  Integrative   rules   and   laws   cannot   exist
independently of those to whom they apply;  i.e.,  without
those  to whom they  apply  having power to influence  the
rules and laws' evolution in different times and places.

     6.  Taboos, rules,   regulations  and laws which play
central   roles   in   the   generation   of   alienation,
excommunications,   inhumane-rejections,   etc.  ---   are
defective and/or are  being enforced in defective ways.

     7.  Rules,  laws,  regulations, etc.  which cannot be
enforced  without  violating  generally  respected   human
rights  and/or  generating alienation,   excommunications,
inhumane-rejections --- are defective.

     8.  Rules,  laws, regulations, etc. which concentrate
power  and  wealth  into the hands of a few people of  any
kind  ---  and deprive many other "different"   people  of
basic needs and powers --- are defective.

     9.  It is  not  helpful to function in  terms of some
people  of  some kind being treated  as  "superior-people"
and/or   some  people  of  some  kind  being  treated   as
"inferior-people".

     10.  It is not helpful to function in  terms  of some
people of  some kind being treated as "good-people" and/or
some people of some kind being treated as "evil-people".

     11.  It is  not  helpful to function in terms of some
people of some kind being treated as "saved-people" and/or
some  people  of some kind being  treated  as  "not-saved-
people".

     12.  It  is not helpful to rule over  people  without
showing  emphatic and sympathetic consideration for  those
differences   which   are   inherent   in   their   unique
characteristics  and/or over which they have  no  control;
e.g., inherited: DNA, parents, nationality, race, culture,
religion, economic-status, class, caste, etc.

     13.  Beware of rules,  laws, regulations, etc.  which
are  contained  in  writings  which  are  interpreted  and
enforced   by  an  elite and perhaps small  ruling   class
of domineering people.

     14.  Beware of taboos, rules, laws, regulations, etc.
which   are   embedded  in  collusive  games   of   mutual
self    deception,     Domination-Systems,      Addictive-
Codependent-Relationships,  Military-Industrial-Complexes,
and   related webs  of confused webs of  Vices-and-Virtues
with  Dominant Administrators.

              Not all laws/rules are helpful.

                         (c) 2006 by Paul A. Smith in 
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
