Best Way To Study A Cave Is To Blow It Up?

So what is Mr Bjola saying here.? Is it okay to cut down your neighbours trees because you need a job? Really, his rebuttal is one of the dumbest I've heard in a long time.

Says Justine Batton (director of archeology branch in the Ministry of Tourism, Sports, and the Arts): <p><i>"There is often the situation with archeology where, to preserve the information, you in fact have to destroy the site. The idea is if you can't maintain the site itself, you then at least collect the information so that everybody in the future has access to that information because it tells us something about our past."</i></p> That is great. Now the natives can go to some archival vault for their worship. <p>The government has decided that, if there is no evidence of past occupation, such as a midden or burial chamber, the site cannot be deemed "sacred". I have been in many churches over the years, and several of them would be disqualified as "sacred" sites for these very same reasons, outside of the observable fact that they are constructs rather than natural sites . But then, our whole society is one of constructs, and not of nature. Yet, if a developer tried to rip one of these down for a few yuppie condos, the legal fur would be flying for years, and the developer would likely lose. A sacred site is one where a person goes to worship, not to live in.</p> This whole exercise demonstrates that we really hold nothing sacred when it is inconvenient. <p>---<br>"Son, if you wanna get ahead in this world, never work for another man as long as you live."

This whole exercise demonstrates that we really hold nothing sacred when it is inconvenient<<

When it's in the way of making profit. Ecological sites have been trampled on for the same reasons.

But the top has been removed from cave, the water sucked out, and stumps and rocks dumped in.....and worst of all, now people KNOW it is there. The last is one sure way to ruin the sacredness of it.<p>---<br>"Son, if you wanna get ahead in this world, never work for another man as long as you live."
