   %RECOGNIZE TRANSCEND COLLUSION DEFENSE BIAS TRUE 920808

     Critics  of the belief that a community is  collusive
may  contend  that the hypothesis is by its nature  beyond
disproof;  and so is flawed.  The man who contends that he
is  the wisest and smartest man in the world  and contends
that anyone  who disagrees with him  should consult him as
wisest and smartest man in the world for confirmation---is
not worthy of respect. Is the contention of the person who
says that the community is collusive of the same kind?

     The participants in collusions are always seeking  to
keep their dishonesty concealed. If they contend that they
are   not  participants  in  collusions  and  that   their
community is not collusive;  ask them to point to evidence
that their community is collusive,  as well as to evidence
that it is not collusive. If they themselves are collusive
they cannot violate the tacit rules  of  their collusions,
and  they are bound to neglect to point to  much  evidence
that their community is collusive,  while pointing only to
evidence that their community is not collusive.

     They are likely to fail to take due note of:

     1.  Corruption  in  positions of great  power  within
religious,  business, educational, scientific,  political,
and professional institutions.

     2.  The failure of  political  leaders  to openly and
honestly  deal forthrightly with the major dilemmas of the
day.

     3.  Attempts by major leaders to deal inappropriately
with dilemmas as if they were technical problems.

     4.  Dishonesty  about  the limited amounts of  energy
and mineral resources available to mankind.

     5.  Pervasive dishonesty   about  sexuality,   birth,
aging, terminal illnesses, and death.

     6.  Attempts   to  control  addictive  drug   related
behavior    through   officially   sanctioned    addictive
manipulative behaviors.

     7.  Abusive  distributions  of political,   economic,
religious, and gender power.

     8.  Passive and active abuse of children and women.

     9.  Concentration of power in the hands of lawyers.

     10.  Pervasive  dis-ease  and  consequent   illnesses
which  are  profitable  to health-care  providers,    with
little  emphasis  on health maintenance efforts  and  self
care.

     They  are  likely  to  dismiss the  evidence  of  the
operations  of collusions by contending that "things  have
always  been that way"  and "things are better  than  they
used to be."

     Colluders   cannot  deal  openly  and  honestly  with
evidence  of the presence of their collusions.  They avoid
the evidence by trying to make it appear to be other  that
what it is.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
