So-long-as and to-the-extent-that we-cooperate in Mitigating-Our-Own-Alienative-Conflicts - - - civility-and-civilization 
will blossom in healthy ways Being-Together-within-Shalom.  That is not possible for Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-
Mobsters who are trying to faithfully fulfill the promises of their distinctive Life-Styles!

Given the CENTRAL: Assumptions, Attitudes, Desires, Approaches, Intentions, Hopes, and Aspirations of Domineering-Bullies 
and Mobbing-Mobsters; it is natural that they will-in-greedy-ways focus their efforts in many of the following ways:

 1. Concentrating Wealth-and-Powers in alienative ways which feed their greed and covetous manners of living.
 2. Trying to Unilaterally-Achieve-Invulnerability.
 3. Mitigating their own Risks-Vulnerabilities-and-Costs.
 4. Encouraging people who support the above efforts by them; or can be coerced into supporting them generously.
 5. Directly, indirectly and/or systemically transferring wealth and power to them from others who are more vulnerable,
    less wealthy and/or less powerful.
 6. Profitably Augmenting-Alienative-Distributive-Injustices of all available kinds.
 7. Inhibiting True-Lovers who are working to help people to Mitigate-their-own-Alienative-Conflicts of all kinds.
 8. Inhibiting True-Lovers who are Building-and-Maintaining Communal-Sanctuaries - - - where all who are present can
    safely be vulnerable in taking the risks of engaging in Open-and-Honest-Dialogues with all others, about all of their
    authentic-basic-needs, perceptions, experiences, ideals, values, virtues, hopes, aspirations, visions and dreams.
 9. Avoid occasions of sharing with strange-other-people: risks, costs, vulnerabilities, intimacies, open-and-honest-
    dialogues, perceptions of the costs of Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception, perceptions of the costs-of 
    Alienative-Conflicts as seen from the Gracious-Ways/Paths of Shalom.
