In other words, tell them how to live and how to use their property.


No, not in other words, in those words. We teach them. You know
"give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him, he eats for a
lifetime...."
Maybe useful to add... Teach him to manage the fishery and his children
and
their children eat and so on and on.


Wow! It must be nice to be so sure of your superiority.

But even if that were true, what gives you the right to direct their lives?



I guess you're done since you don't have any counterpoint.


Sure I did, it just went over your arrogant head.

Your priorities for their land and lives are not theirs. You don't live there
and you bear no risk if your Pollyanna ideas of land use fail, but their
children die if they accept your advice and it is wrong.

So, unless you can, in some way, underwrite your plans for their resources and
lives, you have no right to impose your vision of land use on them.

So long as you do not share the risks of failure, you have no right to make
their choices for them.

So, as I said before, if you think you can manage their land better than they
can, organize a consortium of like minded individuals and BUY their land from
them so that you bear the risk if your ideas don't work instead of them.
Otherwise, I'm sure if they want your enlightened advice, they can ask for it.
