If it were made of gold, they’d be all over this.

The ridiculous Spanish claim for recovered plunder — plunder by the Spanish — is that it is from a military vessel. What are these cannon? Punchbowls from a cruise ship buffet table?

I always thought that a way should be figured out so that a portion of the recovered gold should go to the decedents of the natives who mined it.

But with all the corruption the decedents would be lucky to get a 1/2 of percent of the plunder back.
