you're missing the point. let's use a different example. let's say that you needed 3 millioin dollars for a nice boat, a car and a cottage on the ocean. you need the 3 million bucks and bill gates happens to live in your hometown. he is away on a business trip, so you sneak into the house(we're saying that there's no security) and take 3 mil. he won't notice it right? i mean, he's got 17 billion dollars anyway so what does it matter if you take 3 mil? the point is that he worked to earn that 3 mil. those people who lost their lives while stuck in some grubby 3rd class cabin worked even harder for that nice doll that their daughter owns. even if you just took, oh let's say...a nice peice of china from the restaurant. who do you think had to buy that? the company. and these people are up here selling this stuff, and putting it in museums. seeing that behind the glass case doesn't really mean anything. it doesn't really remind you that 1,500 people died on that ship. it's like buying and autograph of manny ramirez, or barry bonds off ebay. it doesn't give you the satisfaction of being there and watching him sign the baseball. what would you do with the autograph that you bought off ebay? you'd sell it. and because i'm getting bored of typing this i'll stop, but do you see my point?
