      %EXPOSE DISINTEGRATIVE CONSEQUENCES COLLUSION 930130

     To  undermine  a collusion it is useful to make clear
the  disintegrative consequences of those aspects  of  the
collusion which appear least essential to the participants
in the collusion;  to avoid generating immediate defensive
measures.

     To  undermine  a collusion it is useful  to  work  to
generate  a consensus regarding the importance of personal
and communal integrity;  the importance of honesty and  of
other  essential ingredients of a community  characterized
by both personal and communal integrity.

     It  is  not useful to make frontal attacks  upon  the
misleading  but  highly  respected moral  codes,   ethical
rules, taboos,  and  prohibitions  which  play  supportive
roles   to  collusions---making them  appear  respectable.
Trying to tear  off the mask  of respectability is  rarely
helpful;   for  doing so generates heightened measures  of
defensive dishonesty.

     It  is more helpful to seek to give  participants  in
collusions the gift of security which is the freedom to be
safely vulnerable. Only then can the participants let down
their guard  which  stands between them and the liberating
truths that they most fear.
