When I saw the headline in this morning's New York Times, "Magna Carta is Going on the Auction Bloc." I didn't believe it. I knew it was on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., but I thought it was in possession of the United States. But, it would seem not.
It was on loan from the Ross Perot family. They now want to sell it to raise money for medical research and help veteran's familys.
Will the next person who buys it lend it back to the archives or is it going to be someone whose source of wealth is from oil? Might the English want it back?
If I was them, I would.
