glad to see the scientific method still at work!!

actually, come to think of it, yesterday i arrived at 5th/70th street just after a woman was tragically struck by a truck. and, get this, an hour or so ago, i happened upon a taxi around the corner from my office which was completely ablaze. maybe as you're the recipient of this email....

eeeek.

Hi Darryl -

I suppose my answers to your questions are we'll find
out.

If you really feel compelled to do so go on ahead and
join the dataset.

how is it, exactly, that you're expert in how
vengeful native
american spirits will be---that is if they're
vengeful at all?

and might the measure of an honorable life mitigate
the wrath you
predict, or are you just making this into a nice
little primitive fable?

and just to be clear, trust me, if get suddenly
drop, it's not
because of a meteorite transaction; i've been
pushing notions of good
living for far too long.

moreover, there exist countless objects in nature
that have been
venerated by previous cultures that we have no idea
of---and that's a
free pass?!  is it tribe specific?   just checking.

Hi Paul (Litig8n-shark), all -

It's funny: you're worrying about the courts,

while

oblivious to what has been observed to be

incidents of

horrendous bad luck following upon the desecration

of

native american religious artifacts. (I'm sorry,

but

for the time being I'll have to leave that

statement

without rigourous documentation.)

While some may have previously bought or sold
Williamette while oblivous to its earlier

religious

use, if you now feel comfortable purchasing it at
auction, go on ahead. We need some data on mache
katet, and it should be easy enough to follow the
fates of the auction's winners.

Good evening, Folks,

I've not kept up with this thread, unfortunately.
However, this post makes
me think that what I am looking at is the
possibility of another demand for
"reparations"...25.....50, or 100, or more years
later.  When will it end?  For
what "special" group, shall there be an unlimited
statute of limitations?
Shall causes-of-action be allowed to pass down
through families, or "special"
groups--as a result of nothing more than
bloodline--in perpetuity?  I sincerely
hope not.

Are there any among us who can't remotely align

with

a "special" group who
has been discriminated against, under color of
governmental authority, in the
past few hundred years?  In my opinion, no group
should be entitled to multiple
bites at the apple, over decades.

Might your position on this issue change if
suddenly, your country's laws
changed, and all of a sudden you found your
meteorite collection, or part
thereof, being subject to confiscation?  Just a
thought.

Best Regards,

Hi Pete, all -

If I remember correctly, the meteorite was


considered


a sacred relic by the local people, but the


European


settlers hacked off pieces, and then the bulk of


it


was hauled off by wagon and sold.
