People like Mariner are the leeches of society who wish to profit off the hard work of others. To say that the French government has more right to Roman treasure than those that found it is to legalize criminal activity. I am sure the Mafia has their own rules about "found treasure" as well. Just because a government makes a law does not make it moral and just. Criminal governments continue to make laws that benefit politicians and their cronies who put them in office. Each individual person has more sovereign rights than any crooked government today and as long as they do not hurt another individual with their activity they have the right to work hard to find lost and abandoned treasures and the right to keep them once found by their hard efforts.
Do these corrupt governments have the resources that they have stolen from the people that would enable them to go find these treasures? Sure they do. Do they expend those stolen resources in an effort to find those treasures? No, they don't. Why not? Why do that when there are those who will do the hard work for them and they can simply sit back in their easy chairs and legislate the theft of those treasures once the treasure hunters have found them?
It is obvious to any sentient, rational person that the current system established by these corrupt governments is immoral, unethical and offensive to anyone who understands the concepts of freedom and liberty. It is also clear which side of the spectrum anyone who supports these governments stands upon... against the rights of a sovereign individual to live his life in the pursuit of that which brings him happiness and hurts no other person.
Which side do you stand upon?
