oy.
it's ten plagues--not seven; burning ice (nice touch) would have made it eleven.

One was discussed at length on the list just a couple of months ago - some Roman officer and a bunch of his men. I believe the Bible has more than one incident reported as well. Hell, I would like to have one of the frogs in formaldehyde from the 7 plagues of Egypt, not to mention the burning ice. A documented KILLER meteorite? I would buy all I could! (By the way, Dr. Deits, one of the first to propose "continental drift" in the early 1900s was quoted as saying he wanted to die being struck by a meteorite, then fossilized and recovered by future generations).

When I have seen the first time a picture from the Lady hit by the Sylacauga Meteorite, I was happy to know it's not reported a Meteorite ever kills a person. It makes our hobby in some way more peaceful. But I always asking my self what would happen if a Meteorite would kill a person? The Hammers and Cow killers are well paid and I know Sylacauga was very very well paid at a meteorite auction this year at the Tucson show. So would the Meteorite be the most expensive L6 ever been sold? Ore would nobody like to own a slice of a human killer hammer? Ok, I'm sure everybody would agree an impact kit is out of respect, but what's about the Meteorite, who would like to own a human killer Hammer? best greetings AndiWe are a society that starves our grandchildren to feed our children.All the signs are there to prove that Mother Earth cannot take anymore of the pollution and the destruction we throw at her.We are seeing increasing numbers of Tsunami's, Volcanic eruptions andEarthquakes even here in England we are experiencing this. One really sad thing I see is one day an Asteroid comes and hits us and wipes out half the planet I see unfortunately some humans would try and drag the remnants of it away and attempt to sell it on Ebay because cash is all that is worshipped.Mike, Look at the positive side of this for our hobby and business...With Global Warming (that some doubt) the Arctic will have less ice, and our grass and farmlands lands will become deserts. Just imagine all the new meteorites that will become exposed and available to uscollectors. And the prices will go down, too. But all of these benefits will be far outweighed by the economic impact of Global Warming that the Republican "Bushites" doubt. A natural cycle, some say, but look at the ice in the Arctic that environmental scientists are coring. It certainly shows a vastly greater increase in carbon dioxide emissions over the last 150 years that corresponds directly to human activity during our Industrial Revolution. The greatest increase in 900,000 years. And just think, 600,000 years ago Yellowstone caldera supervolcano erupted, a brief yet catastrophic event for the entire earth. It's overall impact was small compared to what we are doing now. But back to meteorites... The prices will drop as more are found due to the melting of Arctic ice, desertfication of our grass and farmlands... But the question is... Who will buy them once the economic crunch of Global Warming hits our pocket books?

But hey, look at it this way, Haliburton moved to Dubai to be closer to the money, they are taking good care of it for us, the taxpayers. Enough of things that do not pertain to meteorites though, we have all had our say and I will leave this topic since I have a meteorite show to attend and then meteorites to dig up in the Arctic.

We want everything never taking into consideration what we leave those that follow us after we are dead and gone. They will curse us or thank us for what we do now. But to do nothing about global warming now, which is a scientifically proven fact, pretty much leaves them with a ruined world and a curse for us. (Maybe by then they will have left this planet to terraform Mars, and mine asteroids (parent bodies of the meteorites we love) for their resources, all the while looking out into space or up into a Martian sky at a bright star that was the world we ruined.)

Bush got his way, America refused to do it's part and the oceans only raise 4 feet in the next 10 years. I guess you had better go to Florida/New York City/Boston, most of the Gulf Coast, and well, most of the Island nations in the Pacific. They will be gone, good job! Oh, and the Billionairs on Long Island and Cape Cod had better sell their homes now, since a 4 foot rise in sealevel will wash them all away. What will Dubya do without the family compound in Kennebunkport? I lived in Key West Florida. The highest point of the island is 6 feet. Most of the island is less than 3 feet above sea level, as is a very large part of Florida. Kiss it goodbye, and trillions of $$$ of land, homes, and a huge part of our nation. Does that make it ok to ignore the melting glaciers, ok to do what we are doing now and not even bother making changes? That is SICK! Unfortunately that is the mentality of a huge part of our nation today, all about me, my money, and today, screw tomorrow, and I gues screw our children, and grandchildren, they can learn to live in the crappy world we created today to get "ours" right? My kids (If I ever have any) will likely never see a glacier in Switzerland, a Polar bear in northern Canada, or a white Greenland. It is all going away. sort of makes me not want to have kids, so they will not have to suffer for our mistakes.
