Sacrilege

I just read a story that a Finnish tourist broke off a peice of the ear of one of the Easter Island statues for a souviner. And now they are held for 13 days in thier hotel under house arrest, and than he will have to pay a fine, but the Mayor, wishes he could have cut off one of her ears as punnishment.

And I completely agree.

I think that would be a fitting punishment for her actions. And I think it would be completely just and fair. Of course some represnetive of the Finnish Embeasy claims that he did not realize the maganatude of his actions when he did it.

Come on, if you are a grown adult, you know, you do not go breaking off peices of antient artifacts. I think it is scandalous how soft they are being on him. It says he probably will not even get a prison scentence.

Personaly I think the penatlty for destroying a peice of history, should be death. The way I see it, runining a peice of history, is the same as taking a human life, becasue you are runining something, taking something, that can never ever be undone, repaired, fixed, again. It is periment. Something will be gone foever.

And it is an act of complete sacrilege  against the people whom first erreccted those momnuments. Though they are not here anymore, I think they still deserve that sacrifice from anyone whom would comit such a crime against them.

For me, it is an unforgivable crime.
