For the following Various-Reasons --- it  is  difficult to
assess the Net-COST of any human pattern of activity:

 1.  It  is  difficult to develop an overall fair  way  of
measuring  in  an   accurate way,   the various impacts of
different   kinds   of   human  activities ---   upon  the
integrations-and-integrities of all the different kinds of
participants.     If not all people have agreed yet to use
the  Internationally-Agreed-Upon  Professional-Energy-Unit
called  the  "Joule"  ---  just-when are we all likely  to
agree    to   all   use   an   Internationally-Agreed-Upon
Professional-COST-Unit  to  measure  the Net-COST of  each
different kind of human activity mentioned below?

 2.  What about the the Raw-Available-Energy  that resides
within  the  CHEMICAL-COMPOUNDS of any Kilogram  of  Coal,
Oil, Gasoline, Ethanol, Natural-Gas,  Wood,  Paper,  Corn,
Grass,  Peat, Shale-Oil-Rock, Uranium-Ore, Yellow-Cake, U-
238, U-235, Thorium, Mass-in-Orbit-around-the-Earth, Mass-
in-Orbit-Around-the-Sun, Asteroid, Planet, Star?

 3.  In  each of the above cases of there being an  amount
of   Raw-Available-Energy  ---   what  is  the  amount  of
Potentially-Useful-WORK which  can  be  done by Purifying-
the-Raw-Available-Energy    by   using   other   Usefully-
Available-Energy; i.e.,   what  it  the  Net-Total-Useful-
Energy which is Available-in-Available-Energy-Resources --
with  due consideration given to the facts  we  know about
Entropy    and   Energy-Conservation   in   regards    to
Thermodynamic-Processes which  are unavoidably involved in
using each form of Raw-Available-Energy?

 4.  What   are   the:   Environmental-COSTS,    Personal-
Integrity-COSTS,   Communal-Integrity-COSTS,   Alienation-
COSTS, Confusion-COSTS,   Resentment-COSTS,   Crime-COSTS,
Corruption-COSTS, Disease-COSTS, Mental-Health-COSTS, etc.
of the many ALTERNATIVE-PATTERNS-OF-hUMAN-BEHAVIORS?  What
units-of-measurement should be used in each case;  and how
can  they  be  converted into measurements in terms of one
standard unit of measurement of all kinds of COSTS?

 5.  Net-COST  cannot  be  ascertained in the  absence  of
determinations   of   the  respective  BENEFITS  of   each
ALTERNATIVE-PATTERN-OF-HUMAN-BEHAVIORS.

 6.  Net-COST  cannot  be  ascertained in the  absence  of
coherence between the unit-of-measurement-of-cost AND  the
unit-of-measurement-of-BENEFIT.     The total COSTS  of  a
pattern  of human activities ---  must be subtracted  from
the   total   BENEFITS  of  the  same  pattern  of   human
activities; to get the TOTAL-NET-BENEFIT of the pattern of
human activities.

 7.  Net-COST cannot be  ascertained in the absence of the
determination   of  Both-the-Costs-and-Benefits   of   the
effects of the pattern of human activities upon the TOTAL-
ENVIRONMENT  within  Space-Ship-Earth and  its  contiguous
relevant space-time --- within  God's-Solar-System.    (In
human  terms  the four-dimensional-space-time  outside  of
God's-SOLAR-SYSTEM need not be considered.)

 8.  How  can  we  measure the amount  of  Alienation-and-
Anger-and-Resentment present within  Space-Ship-Earth  ---
if  there  are  people within Space-Ship-Earth who  do not
feel  free  to admit to How-Much-They-Feel-Threatened  by
the  presence  of Domineering-Bullies within God's  Space-
Ship-Earth?

 9.  How  can  we measure the amount  of  Integration-and-
Integrities  within  Space-Ship-Earth ---   if  there  are
Domineering-People within Space-Ship-Earth who do not feel
free  to  admit to  How-Much-They-Feel-Threatened  by  the
presence  of True-Lovers-of-Integrity within God's  Space-
Ship-Earth?

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
