Course Keys **** 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.
