John,
You disagree that aid plays any role in depressing ambition to
develop business in this area. (Inversely stated: you believe aid
has never hurt the economy of this area one bit.) But do you also
disagree that aid plays a role in depressing ambition to develop
business in general? I am curious about your general philosophy
for other areas (separate from the topic of this reservation). If
not, and you agree that aid can depress ambition in other areas,
where do you draw the line: on Native American status, or simply
on the needs of any area/people (or something else)?
-Mark
PS: I'm sorry; what is "LDS"?

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Well, no Mark, I do not. See, again you are making assumptions
based on
something you *read*.
I will give you two points to consider. This area is SO DRY that,
between
1910 and 1948 (approx) LDS citizens of Blanding drilled a tunnel
through a
rock mountain 1 1/2 miles long with picks and dynamite and
removed the rock
with a mule. This was so the snow melt could travel from one side
of a
mountain to another, to be used for drinking water. The water
runs as a
small stream. They did it without pay and provided the equipment.
That is
how much they needed a stream of water, still used today.
The second is that 100% of the businesses, ranches and hay farms
are owned
my 49% of the people...Caucasian LDS. The remaining 51%, Navajo
and Ute, do
not own businesses. When they try, they are pushed out.
