Hanson column: Diversity: history's pathway to chaos

Hanson column: Diversity: history's pathway to chaos: Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations throughout history.

IS THE FILIPINO FISHERMAN WHO FOUND THE WORLD'S LARGEST PEARL GETTING RIPPED OFF.

IS THE FILIPINO FISHERMAN WHO FOUND THE WORLD'S LARGEST PEARL GETTING RIPPED OFF. The article in the paper we read says he will receive a yet undisclosed reward. He found this years ago and has kept it in his home. Fishermen seek valuable items form the sea (food fish, pearls, etc.) as a business. It is his work and he has possessed the pearl for some time. I ask_ Isn't the pearl his to sell as he wishes for the price he can get? If the Philippine authorities want to keep the item in the country for heritage reasons, should they not have to buy it from him at a fair market price. A benefactor could help foot the bill, and maybe the fisherman will lower the price some out of patriotism. But is it not his to sell, not to give up for a 'reward'? [Pass this around, and if you know an official Philippine website or page, send it to them.]
