The historically preserved specimens of the past lovingly maintained by governments for archaeological history and cared for with profound reverence and then destroyed by ignoramuses has made me very upset. I have been feeling guilty; I may be reacting with greater negative feeling than I should as I ought to cry about the brutal death of the human victims first, but I'm not.
