  %DOMINEERING PEOPLE STEALING GRACIOUS WAYS SHALOM 070805
%ALIENATIVE BEHAVIORS IDEALS VALUES IDEALISM SIMPLE 070805

Alienative-Stealing pertains not  only to taking an object
which  belongs  to another person or group;  but  also  to
violating  other persons'  rights to what is  valuable  to
them; e.g., to their:  integrity,  privacy,  civil-rights,
constitutional-rights,    tranquility,    rest,     sleep,
relaxation-time, etc.

Domineering-People  regularly  steal the latter  kinds  of
essentials to Personal-and-Communal-Integrity ---  in The-
Domination-System's efforts to concentrate: Wealth, Power,
Influence,  Luxuries,  etc.  ---  at the expense of  Poor-
People who are vulnerable to:  disease,  sickness, hunger,
ignorance, inherited-debilitations, natural-catastrophes,
cultural-catastrophes, political-catastrophes, economic-
catastrophes  ---   for  which they bear  little  if  any
responsibility -- having had little power to prevent them
or avoid them.

Domineering-People's-Behaviors     often     amount    to
Disintegrative-Stealing.      They  show  little  if  any
commitment  to  helping  to maintain the  Common-Good  of
their  communities  --- in Being-Together in the Gracious-
Ways-of-Shalom.

Within  the  above  sense  of what Disintegrative-Stealing
entails, the following behaviors of Domineering-People can
reasonably  be  recognized  as  occasions  of  Alienative-
Stealing:

 1.  Exhaustions of limited natural resources like fuels.
 2.  Domination over limited desirable lands.
 3.  Pollution of parts or all of God's Space-Ship-Earth.
 4.  Extinction of essential species of living creatures.
 5.  Enjoying-Many-Luxuries not available to most people.
 6.  Extremes of noise, light, air and water pollution.
 7.  Extremes of mining pollution.
 8.  Extremes of advertising pollution.
 9.  Extremes of religious doctrinal pollution.
10.  Extremes of political negativity pollution.
11.  Extremes of political polarization pollution.
12.  Extremes of entertainment/distraction pollution.

Pollutants  threaten  Personal-and-Communal  Integrations-
and-Integrities.

      Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.
