     Loyalty  is not a Primary-Virtue;  it is a Secondary-
Virtue  which  sometimes merits honor ---  depending  upon
contexts and upon what is the focus of loyalty.

     Loyalty  is  NOT-a-Virtue  if the  focus  of  Loyalty
pertains to supporting one or more of the following:

     1.  THE-DOMINATION-SYSTEM or a subsidiary of IT.
     2.  Any UNILATERAL-SYSTEM for controlling people.
     3.  Any UNILATERAL-SYSTEM for intimidating people.
     4.  Any UNILATERAL-SYSTEM for enslaving people.
     5.  Any UNILATERAL-SYSTEM for addicting people.
     6.  The Myth-of-Redemptive-Violence or a subsidiary.
     7.  The Myth-of-Redemptive-Coercion or a subsidiary.
     8.  Any Myth-of-Redemptive-Power/Wealth Concentration
     9.  Any Myth-of-Redemptive-Power/Wealth Salvation.
    10.  Any Myth-of-Redemptive-Arrogance-or-Hubris.
    11.  Any Myth-of-Redemptive-War-or-Other-Terrorism.
    12.  Leaders  Undermining Distributive-Justice.
    13.  Policies Undermining Distributive-Justice.
    14.  Laws that Undermine  Distributive-Justice.
    15.  Traditions Undermining Distributive-Justice.
    16.  Ancestors  Undermining Distributive-Justice.
    17.  Any Military-Industrial-Complex or Profits.
    18.  Any Economic-Hit-Man or System-of-Such-Men.
    19.  Any Profits-or-Powers from any of the above.

     Loyalty is NOT a VIRTUE if honoring it UNDERMINES:

    20.  Shalom, Integrations, Integrities, Health.
    21.  Honesty, Authenticity, Sanctuaries, Dialogues.
    22.  Listening, Responsiveness, Empathy, Sympathy.
    23.  True-Lovers, Peacemakers, Healers, Hospitality.
    24.  Civility, Cooperation, Collaboration, Reverence.
    25.  Diversity, Tolerance, Communications, Humility.
    26.  Learning-from-Mistakes and Tragic-Outcomes.
    27.  Remembering what has been learned with LOVE.
    28.  Letting-Go of Profitable-Vices --- with LOVE.
    29.  Letting-Go of Collusions and Addictions.

     There is often a Taboo-Against-Questioning-Loyalty to
one of the above enumerated realities.

     Does  the  enforcement  of such a  Taboo  yield  Net-
Integrations  or Net-Disintegrations;  net Reconciliations
or Net-Alienations?   THINK!

     What  is the overt-or-covert Purpose-or-Intention  of
those  who ENFORCE a Taboo-Against-Questioning-Loyalty  to
one of the above sixteen enumerated realities?

     Into-whose-hands does the ENFORCEMENT-of-such-a-Taboo
Concentrate  Power  and/or Wealth?   Might it be the  most
powerful and  wealthy people --- who  thereby  concentrate
more power and wealth into their own hands?  THINK!

     Beware of any Loyalty not within the Way-of-Shalom!

     Beware  of  Enforcers  of  Taboos-Against-Questioning
some Alienative-Loyalty.   There are likely to be  working
to  Concentrate-Power-and-Wealth into the Hands,   Stocks,
Bonds and Banks of Domineering-Alienative-People.

     Be Graciously Together in the Ways-of-Shalom!

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