                         %COLLUSIONS RESPECTABILITY 870207

     Colluders commonly are associated with  many  of  the
signs of respectability:   power,  wealth,  nice clothing,
nice housing,  scholarship,   intellectual sophistication,
religious rituals, scientific evidence, etc.   Their games
of mutual self deception can easily be played with all the
signs of respectability.   Such signs are but tools to  be
used in mutual self deception; the more respectability the
signs  point  to, the more effective they are as  tools of
self deception.

     Collusions  even make use of integrity as a  sign  of
respectability.   Each collusion works to present signs of
its own integrity, emphasizing signs  of respectability to
conceal  the sign of its inherent lack of integrity.   The
internal  consistencies,   the  internal  coherence  of  a
collusion are its signs of integrity.  Pointing with pride
to  such  coherence suggests integrity---if  the  pointing
distracts attention away from  the signs of disintegration
which occur because of the exclusivity of the collusion.
