%GOOD PEOPLE USE PROPER VIOLENCE AGAINST ALIENATION 071010

In the realms of civil secular law it is illegal  for  any
person to  "Impersonate  an  Officer";  i.e.  act toward a
vulnerable   person  as  if  they  really   had   official
authority.

For example,  a "Big-Guy" might dress up in the uniform of
a Police-Officer,  publicly  carry  a forged badge and ID,
and arrest an isolated vulnerable person on false charges.
Such action is a very serious secular crime!

In  the realms of substantial religious institutions there
have been  many occasions of religious leaders  serving in
one of  their  religion's  offices  "with  authority"  and
presuming to  Know-And-Enforce  God's-Will;  perhaps  even
with  the  enthusiastic support of a  gang  of  their  own
enthusiastic supporters.

Might such actions have been criminal acts?   What are the
proper  humane  responses to such criminal acts?    How is
Human-Alienation  to  be MITIGATED  in  the face  of  such
criminal  actions  on  the  part of mere mortals?   Should
PROPER-RESPONSES entail the use of MORE-VIOLENCE?

Any  Truly-Proper-Reconciling-Response   will  entail many
Integrative-Combinations of Mutually-Complementary:

 1.  Suggestions  about dealing Openly-And  Honestly  with
Imbalances-of-Power-and-Wealth  ---   in the  presence  of
True-Lovers   seeking   to  Facilitate-Healthy-Forms   of:
neighborly-love,  friendships,   intimacies,  romances and
sexual-relationships.

 2.  Graciously-Speaking-of-Truths-to-Traditional-Powers.

 3.  Ways of Mitigating: Coercion,  Domination,  Violence,
and other forms of Alienative-Behaviors.

The closer that Domineering-People intuit that True-Lovers
are To-Letting-Go of their own Domineering-Tendencies  ---
the   more  Fearful-and-Desperate  the  Domineering-People
become in their efforts to Protect-The-Powers-That-Be  and
The-Domination-Systems  that Have-Them,   the Domineering-
People,  In-Prisons  that  are  made  invisible  by  their
Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception.    Who clings to
such prisons?

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