As soon as the press or media becomes involved, it quickly becomes a government issue.?? 90% of the time, the media does more harm than good.? It seems if something might have a bit of value,? governments are quick to restrict access or try to control it.

No press is a good thing!? These people who attracted to cameras and a few moments in the lime light are ruining for the rest of us.

Hi List,

This is stupid.? What is the harm in letting the stone be classified?
Slice off 20 grams and donate it to science.? It is the right thing to
do.

This is not a government issue as Adam said.? These are private
individuals hoarding the stone - which they are legally entitled to
do.? Just like the multi-billion dollar private corporations are
entitled to hide their hoards of cash in offshore tax havens.? The
government shouldn't be allowed to step in and force their hand - they
should volunteer to do the right thing.? Sadly, greed controls many
interests, private and government.

It's MINE MINE MINE!? Like a bunch of spoiled little kids.

Best regards,

MikeG
