Most people would beg to differ. Museums around the world pay a hefty price in both human and financial resources to store and curate millions of specimens indefinately. WT - You're absolutely right about cooperation. The science of paleontology is one of the most wonderfully inspiring and utterly interesting fields, that suffers because we don't take the time to communicate with and engage the public enough. Hopefully this is changing.
Political correctness accomplishes nothing.
Asking for information and debating issues isn't a waste of time. Museums are mandated to constantly keep tabs on just these types of discussions and debates that engage not only the organizations that support and police them, but also by the professional community and the public. IWT - t's sure is alot easier to be politically incorrect, it's certainly more prodictive to hear each other out. From this we received no further response.
