     When placing blame for unjust actions --- it  is with
rare exception that blame/guilt is placed upon a person or
group  of persons who have done what had  been  forbidden.
It  is hoped that by holding people accountable for acting
in forbidden ways, they and others will take seriously the
injunctions  that such actions are to be avoided.   It  is
hoped  that the ideals which led to the  prohibition  will
thus be advanced.

     What  are  we to do about people who together  follow
sincerely  held high-ideals which they-all-agree-on;   and
thereby   violate  injunctions  which  were  motivated  by
conflicting-other-ideals  of other people in positions  of
"authority".    What  are  we to do  about  sincerely-held
conflicting-ideals   which  have  not  been  resolved   in
thoughtful and cooperative ways?    Might it make sense to
place "blame" and/or "guilt" upon the failure of people to
resolve their ideological-conflicts in a timely way?

     What  are  we  to  do when INJUSTICE  is  done  in  a
community  because  powerful  groups  of  people  in   the
community   are  Polarized-in-Affirming  in  various  ways
different  clusters  of ideals,  values,   principles  and
virtues ---  which are incoherent;  in conflict with  each
other?

     What  are  we  to do when  essential  foundations  of
personal  and  communal integrity are destroyed by  people
who  are  faithfully  working  to  fulfill  the  generally
accepted ideals of:

     1.  Maximizing corporate profits for stock-holders?

     2.  Protecting the national security and integrity?

     3.  Maintaining respect for existing laws/orders?

     4.  Keeping criminals out of the nation's territory?

     5.  Maximizing Production-Efficiency in manufacture?

     6.  Eliminating Non-Productive-Ways in manufacturing?

     7.  Eliminating Non-Productive-Diversity in work?

     How  are we to place blame/guilt upon the communities
which fail to resolve the ideological-conflicts pointed to
by the above questions --- so as to thereby encourage more
diligent work on resolving the ideological-conflicts?

     How  are we to identify the individual people who are
to be labeled "guilty" and/or "at-fault"?

     Will it help to blame the unresolved-conflicts as  if
they were individual people who can be blamed and made  to
feel guilty and repentant?
