Thanks Bernd, I think I get it. I did not study philosophy though in the
University.
Life is not perfect, we should all get along but don't. The Pellisons are a
joke, but a dirty one that has the potential to come back to haunt us all.
What if they stir the pot so much that one of us goes to a North African
country and does not come back? Where will that put the collectors market?
Or how will it benefit the scientific world, who have benefited so much from
this gold rush of new meteorites of some of the rarest and never before seen
types?
We have a saying in English, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and the
Pellisons are doing a lot of squeaking.
