Joe,

These words:
Do they bring a piece of paper that claims that they are the only source of help available to anyone ever?

Do they bring a badge that claims that it is either their help or no help, ever, and if you dare question the offer you will be the next one needing help?

Does this all sound familiar by now, as if a routine, or business cycle is working the way it works when people are led down the wrong path?

that you provided give clarity to the powers at work in the situation of someone showing up in a white coat to "help."

But these word:

The first thing to do is to look at the situation from at least one more competitive angel of view to compare that extra viewpoint to the one viewpoint that may first appear into view. If time runs out, and there are no other options, there is only time for a small, almost harmless, lie, which will reasonably save the helpless person, then why not use that lie for that purpose in that dire situation? Would a reasonable person, under those specific conditions only, only those specific conditions, take the lie solution off the shelf, taking that tool off the tool belt, and if so, for what reason?
cause me caution.  I don't carry a lie of any sort as a tool.  I think the habit of creating a small lie that may appear harmless for the greater good is rationale that can lead to big lies that may appear harmless for self good.  I think that lying of any sort is something that can take on a life of its own as one small harmless lie grows as each new lie is used to cover that small lie as lie pile up one upon another.  I think that creating lies creates a liar.  I think that when a mind begins to form lies that it becomes easier and easier to lie and soon lies just spill out for the "benefit" of the moment.  I think that perhaps the liar can begin to live in those lies as if they are truth causing reality to change for that individual while those around that individual live in a different reality resulting from the lies of the liar.

I think a lie as a tool is a tool that should never find its way upon the tool belt.

I think truth is the belt that holds tools:

Ephesians 6:14 KJV Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

So, whether or not the person in need is rationale and sane, I do not believe that a lie should be used.

If the project is truly a productive venture of vast proportions, huge savings in power costs, and each voluntary member of the collective mind set on that Dam project will reap powerful rewards, then why does the one person hold-out?

I'd ask the one hold-out, perhaps I was wrong, perhaps the one hold-out is actually using the land better than anyone else could.


Maybe the person just wants to live on the land.  Maybe that land had been passed down generation to generation.  The person lives there and is not out of malice prohibiting a Dam project. The person just wants to live where they have lived all of their life and they have a farm and their children will work the farm after they die.  It is family property.  The person is happy to share the water with those who are thirsty, but does not want to leave the land. 

In that situation, even if compensation is given for the land, I do not believe the people who want to build a dam have the right to take the persons land if the land is not for sale.  Is that right?

OK, I asked you another bear question last night in the comment above this one :)

I am on page 75 now.  I am hoping to get a lot of book work done today.
