Poor doctor,

hey veterans! Remember?

In former times, each new find or find of new meteorite was a happy, happy
event.

And nowadays?
People fighting on the street in Park Forest,
Evil blood in Ash Creek,
Schrader gets harassed for his Arizona fall finds,
Bouzzard Coulee the export mess,
Tamdakht, when it felt, the Moroccans were attacked to be lie about the tkw,
Fireball over South Africa, immediate scream: It belongs to the state!
Niggling scientists in Moss,
Mud-wrestling in the Cancarancas hole,
PA Fireball, dealers ranting,
Arrests cause of Almahata Sitta,
Hindrance of the field work in Sulagiri,
Lawsuit about Neuschwanstein,
Prohibition of Berduc,
Santa Lucia - work for nothing,
False accusations that Chergach would be Bassikounou or vice versa,
Corruption at Buenguerir,
And the Australians, the Omani, the Algerians make a drama, that every
observer could mean, that it has to be an incredible catastrophe, that
meteorites are found in these countries.
And other yellers try to close Sahara completely.
Now Lorton.

That all sucks endlessly.

I can't help,
how shall we discuss about cultural heritage, if the people have no culture?

Martin

Phil,
I assume from this bold statement that you either have inside information or
you are not familiar with the American legal system.
Most people including myself agree that you are probably right and the past
precedent says it belongs to the landlord. . The Smithsonian and the Doctors
are not convinced or this matter would be over wouldn't it? This looks like
it is going to be challenged in court. If this changes the precedent it
might make this particular meteorite very important for a chondrite. It is
definitely worth the challenge for the doctors. Plus keep in mind the
Smithsonian might have there own lawyers involved. How do they say it. "It
aint over till the fat lady sings." Carl
