Aren't you suggesting cowering before a Turd World whiner? This suggestion of yours seems to have an aura of PC submission to it. Is that deliberate? If so, might I inquire as to your reasoning?

My reasoning is that those are Inca treasures and part of the heritage of the Peruvian descendants of those Incas. I don't believe wanting treasures that belonged to your ancestors is whining. I don't know the circumstances under which these treasures were given away or sold, but given the history of most of latin america there was probably a lot of corruption involved and I suspect whoever bought them for Yale was aware of it. I don't doubt that legally they belong to Yale, but I think Yale would be well served by giving them back. Further, would no the treasures have a lot more value in a museum at Machu Pichu where they could be viewed in the context of the ruins?
