%MEMBERS COMMUNITY DECIDE REFLEXIVE YOUTH SALVATION 910512

     Ultimately it is the young members of each  community
who  must honestly consider the plight of their  community
in the light of previous communal decisions and actions---
and  in  that  light decide what must be done  to  promote
personal   and  communal  integrity in the days   yet   to
come.   Members   of  other  communities are   likely   to
encourage dishonest  and disintegrative dependency if they
seek  to replace  the  wisdom  of the leading members of a
community   with their  own  wisdom.    They may helpfully
offer  new alternatives  and sympathetic encouragement  to
the   members  of a community;but  outsiders  cannot  with
integrity  control the integrity of the members of another
community,  or  of the community as a whole.

     Communities    often   behave   like   addicts    and
codependents  do  as  persons.     One community plays the
role   of   the excessively dependent addict;   and  other
communities    play  the   roles   of  excessively   self-
sacrificial  codependents.  Such dishonest interdependency
is  not  healthy and leads to many   tragic   consequences
which  are not clearly seen  and not  clearly   understood
by   participants  in the collusive games of  mutual  self
deception.
