     It is not a simple matter to frame un-biased ultimate
questions about  strategies for facilitating-and-promoting
both personal-and-communal integrations/integrities:

     1.  When can you sacrifice any integrity in-the-short
term  ---   to  facilitate and promote both  personal  and
communal integrations/integrities in-the-long-term?    For
the  whole community?     For the powerful/wealthy in  the
community?  For a special group?    For the dysfunctional?
In a way which is unsustainable-in-the-long-term?

     2.  Can  such sacrifices be successfully achieved  in
ways  which are:   Unilateral?    Alienative?    Coercive?
Violent?    Arbitrary?     Destructive  of   poor-people's
rights?

     3.  Can  the ultimate outcomes of such sacrifices  be
predicted  with  any  honestly assured  confidence  and/or
accuracy?    What does "Chaos-Theory"  indicate about this
possibility?    How far into the future can predictions be
relied  upon?      Based  upon  what  kind  of,   and  how
much, information?

     4.  What  do the above considerations  suggest  about
the  management of Philanthropic Foundations?   About  the
management  of  substantial personal wealth?    About  the
management of substantial corporate wealth?

     5.  What  do the above considerations  suggest  about
"giving all of some wealth to the poor"  at one time;  and
so   become    sufficiently    like    the    poor,     to
empathize/sympathize with them?

     6.  Is leveling all kinds of power  and wealth likely
to  be an effective way to eliminate:  poverty,   disease,
ignorance, confusion, alienation, estrangement, prejudice,
bias?   How can we be confident and/or certain about  what
the   outcome would be  of  overall  power/wealth leveling
in  particular  real human contexts?    What  does  Chaos-
Theory indicate about our ability  to  predict the outcome
of   any  chosen  way   of  responding  to   Distributive-
Injustice?    How far into  the future  can we predict the
likely outcome of any adopted strategy?

     7.  What  about unilateral Destructive-Disintegrative
Acts ---  intended to Do-Good,   Eliminate-Evil,    Clear-
the-Way for  Proper-Advancements?     It  is   clear  that
terrorists  (both informal and official ones)   have  long
believed that Good-can-come from Redemptive:  Destructive-
Disintegrative-Acts.     What  is  the evidence  of  human
experiences   down  through history?     Have   such  acts
demonstrably  produced net-increases in  integrity  within
Space-Ship-Earth?      Have  such     acts    successfully
transcended   the   descriptive statements  of  the Third-
Law-of-Thermodynamics  about  the  Net-Increase-in-Entropy
within  any Truly-Isolated-Volume-of-Space  ----    within
any   short-period-of-destructive-actions?     Can     the
explosions  of bombs  produce  net-integrative-reconciling
effects?    When and where has that happened?    Where  is
the   reliable   evidence  of   integrative  outcomes   of
disintegrative-actions?

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