YEP THIS WILL BE A CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT

I WOULD SAY THE GUY ON EASTER ISLAND VANDALIZED THE MOA AND WAS NOT A COLLECTOR BUT A KNUCKLE HEAD. THE GIANT BUDHAS WERE BLOWN UP BY RELIGIOUS EXTREMESTS SORT OF LIKE HOW SOME EARLY CHRISTIAN EXTREMESTS KNOCKED THE FACES OFF EVERY EGYPTIAN STATUE THEY COULD GET THEIR HANDS ON. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING FOOLISH THINGS FROM THE BEGINNING AND I AM SURE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END. EXTREME GROUPS ARE OFTEN OUT OF BALANCE WITH LOGIC AND USUALLY OUT OF CONTROL AND CAN DO A LOT OF HARM AS THEY STRIKE OUT AT EVERYTHING AROUND THEM WHILE THINKING THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT.

WE COLLECTORS HAVE A INTREST IN THE MANY THINGS THE WORLD PROVIDES AND HAVE CHANGED THE PRIMITAVE INSTINT TO COLLECT AND HOARD FOOD. SO WE COLLECT AND HOARD OTHER STUFF

THIS IS GOOD BECAUSE WE PRESERVE THE THINGS WE COLLECT AND LEARN ABOUT THEM AND RECORD THE INFORMATION SO IT WON'T BE LOST. A COLLECTOR WITH PLENTY OF CASH WOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT A MOA AND HAD IT MOVED CARFULLY TO A SAFE PLACE PREPARED FOR IT.

OF COURSE SOME WILL GET VERY ANGRY THAT SOMEONE WOULD MOVE ONE MOA FROM EASTER ISLAND EVEN IF THEY HAVE HUNDREDS MORE AND THEY WERE FALLING INTO THE SEA.

THERE ARE STILL BAD FEELINGS ABOUT THE CARVEINGS FROM THE ACROPOLIS IN ATHENS BEING IN LONDON. BUT AT THE TIME THEY WERE TAKEN IT PROBABLY SAVED THEM FROM BEING DESTROYED AS SOME HAD ALREADY BEEN DESTROYED BY THE OCCUPING ARMY FOR FUN AND BULIDING MATERIALS. PERHAPS THEY WILL BE RETURNED SOME DAY BUT IN THE MANY YEARS IN LONDON VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN AND ENJOYED THEM. SO SOME GOOD HAS COME OF IT AS THEY WERE SAVED AND PRESERVED AND DISPLAYED FOR THE WORLD TO COME AND SEE THEM.
THERE ARE THOSE TODAY WHO FEEL THAT WE ALL SHOULD ALL BE FORCED TO DO AS THEY SAY AND THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW US MUCH. WE WOULD ALL HAVE TO BECOME VEGITARIANS, FREE ALL THE ANIMALS AND WEAR ONLY CLOTHES MADE FROM PLANTS, LIVE IN HOLES IN THE GROUND SO WE WOULD NOT NEED TO CUT THE TREES OR DIG UP THE EARTH TO MAKE CEMENT OR MINE METALS, COAL OR OIL. ABSOLUTELY NO COLLECTING JUST STAY ON THE PATH AND TAKE NOTHING EXCEPT AIR AND SUN AND LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS.
