The Parable of the Bridge Builder

A team was building a bridge to span a gulf, allowing a freedom train to cross.

One team member distinguished himself by helping get them supplies and equipment, to the point where he was honored as a champion of the effort. But at night, he would lower explosives from the scaffolding to another team that was waiting below to sabotage the bridge and bring it crashing down.

Another team member noticed and alerted the others. This upset the team leaders very much.

So they ignored the team member who issued the warning, and reminded everyone of all the "good" their "champion" had done for the cause.

Oh, and thanks, Mike.
