USU students start dig for artifacts

You know where some of these artifacts will end up don't you? In museums where people have to pay to view them; not unlike digging them up an selling them for a profit.
I would like someone to spin this one for us and justify the hypocricy of "the law" that is self-evident here.
If Indian artifacts are so sacred, what are these people doing digging them up and what do the Indians think about it?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Just because something is called "legal" doesn't make it right---does it?
So yeah, in this case, because something is legal, it is right.
You do realize that now it is against the law to pickup old shell casings and old beer bottles. Because my culture holds this trash to be sacred. As they say one mans trash is another mans treasure.
An arrowhead sitting out in the dirt is the same as a spent bullet. A broken beer bottle is the same as a shard of pottery. The only difference is the age of the trash. To think one day the land fill will be sacred ground.
Whoa how not politically correct I've been.
You did, however, spin your answer to "justify" the Feds permission in digging up artifacts for profit. Yeah, that's all right because they call it legal---huh?
The fine points of the law are justice and mercy; something needs to be done to correct the law if it's not covering all the bases.
