[meteorite-list] New BLM regs: Tempest in a teacup?

[Richard Montgomery]

As Adam predicts, the oxymoron will emerge.  Public Land unavialable to the 
public....already happening en masse with our forests....gates locked, 
supposedly to protect public lands from the public.

Pogo said is well,
"We have met then Enemy, and it is us!"

I've been looking for the constitutional authority to do all this....still 
looking.

The problem is we already have self-proclaimed spokespeople working our 
behalf. You will find them showing off the latest Mohave finds in front of 
the media or selling them on eBay claiming they are worth an outrageous 
fortune for full effect. The BLM claims that increased publicity has made 
them aware of the need to protect this exceedingly valuable treasure from 
space at all costs. This has hastened the end of a fine and wholesome 
avocation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those responsible for the 
soon-to-come complete closure of public land and the government for doing a 
fine job of protecting meteorites.

For the record, I have never sold any meteorite I have found on public land. 
I guess the 10.1 pounder will have to be left in the field or buried so 
somebody else doesn't accidentally find it and be tempted to break the law.

Joyful Hunting,

Adam
