                   %IMPLICIT AFFIRMATIONS OF IDEALS 850503

     Some of the most powerful and invisible  affirmations
of ideals take the form of implicit affirmations.  If some
action  is  in doubt and it is justified in terms of  some
ideal  such a justification is an implicit affirmation  of
the  ideal  in  terms  of which  the  doubtful  action  is
affirmed.    The  ideal  is not in doubt.   To use  it  to
justify a doubtful action further affirms the ideal as not
being  in doubt,  setting it further beyond the bounds  of
question.  By successive steps of this sort an ideal which
tends to undermine personal and community integrity may be
put  out  of the reach of doubtful  questioning,   thereby
creating a collusion which makes it taboo to question that
which undermines personal and community integrity.
