[meteorite-list] Fwd: Lorton meteorite should be 'the people's rock'

[George Blahun Jr]

Carl:
    Your examples show why there are so many 5-4 decisions on the supreme 
court.  There are at least two legal viewpoints and a practical, though not 
necessarily legal one, take the money and run.  I know we could probably keep 
going back and forth with this issue, invoking analogies all day.  The issue of 
ownership is an interesting legal and philosophical issue.  I always remember 
the Native American position, "The earth does not belong to us, we belong to 
the earth".  I'll bet, if asked, they'd have an answer for meteorites and 
sunglasses.

George
