Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters acknowledge no legitimate criteria by which
to recognize what constitutes EXCESS in regards to:

 1. Per-capita per-year rates of consuming fossil-fuels and/or other pure mineral-
    resources in Space-Ship-Earth.

 2. Concentrating wealth and political power more each year, than the past year.

 3. Externalizing corporations' Operating-Costs into the natural environment in the
    form of polutions of air, water, soils, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and garbage
    dumps.

 4. Per-capita per-year rates of dumping massive amounts of just-used-consumer-GOODS
    into "land-fills".

 5. Per-capita per-year concentrations of wealth into the hands of fewer people, and
    failing to maintain the overall health of the Whole-Community as an Integrated-
    Whole.

 6. Luxuries which are not enjoyed by 95% of the members of God's Crew of Tiny-
    Space-Ship-Earth.

 7. Life-Styles which cannot be sustained for long inside of God's Astronomically-
    Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth which has limited supplies of Fossil-Fuels, and Pure: 
    Minerals, Air, Water, Soil, etc. - - - with no other such supplies within reach.

 8. Global-Warming and Rising Ocean Waters - - - augmented by human activities.

 9. Pretense, Dishonesty, Arrogance, Violence, Domination, and Alienative efforts 
    to WIN-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception - - - for which the rules are
    SECRET and there are no honest referees.

10. Superior Forms-of-Pure-Idolatry.

Civility and Civilization cannot survive in the absence of Open-and-Honest-Dialogue
about each of the above realities - - - by most of the Crew of God's Astronomically-
Tiny Space-Ship-Earth.

Only through pervasive Open-and-Honest-Dialogues can we generate any true consensus
about how-to-recognize in each instance - - - what truly constitutes:

Enough     Balance   Mutuality      Health   Personal-Integrity  Communal-Integrity

Wholeness  Honor     Authenticity   Being-Trust-Worthy      Sustainable-Life-Styles


Augmentations of Sustainable-Clusters of Virtues that are Affirmed-and-Demonstrated.

Mitigations  of  Un-Sustainable  Disintegrative-Vices  that are publicly exposed.


No civilization that ignores the above - - - can be sustained in robust ways that 
achieve a dynamic-stability - - - by responding flexibly to changing environments;
with continued communal-and-personal diverse-forms-of-integrity; both personal and
communal - - - throughout all parts of God's Astronomically-Tiny Space-Ship-Earth.
