List-
    Maybe many of the rest of you don't feel this way- but to me it
generally seems the news media and television shows are more concerned
about a quick buck rather than the science and appreciation for
meteorites for what they are- treasures from space that you can hold
in your hand.
    It seems like initially meteorites are viewed as something special
and usually wind up "How much is it worth?" after buyers roll in.
   The doctor in this case tried to maintain the scientific value for
all to appreciate while helping the people of Haiti. Then the $$$ was
thrown at them and greed seems to be winning out.
    Sorry for the frustration.
Mike
