In the United Kingdom under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, jetsam, flotsam, lagan and all other cargo and wreckage remain the property of their original owners. Anyone, including recreational divers and beachcombers, removing those goods must inform the Receiver of Wreck to avoid the accusation of theft. As the leisure activity of Wreck diving is common, there are laws to protect historic wrecks of archaeological importance and to protect war graves.

There has been a lot of discussion around the net about the status of cargo that washed ashore from the wreck of the Napoli offshore from Branscombe, England.  This should answer those questions.

Democratic Underground - I would rather have Chavez's decree

I would rather have Chavez's decree Than *'s so called "mandate". Besides, if it prevents the robber barons from enslaving the Venezuelan people, the better. Kick out all of the bloodsucking multi's and they will have a truly independent country that answers to nobody. Viva Chavez!

I'm sorry, but is this guy out of his fucking mind???  He is so irrational about multi-national corporations enslaving people that he actually doesn't seem to care if Chavez enslaves them.  Chavez is sending the Venezuelan economy down the tubes and the DU acutally thinks this is good.  His economic policies have been so disastrous that he needs to privatize corporations to pay for them.

it really is a dumb test...

As the campaign lumbers to the finish line, the Republicans desperately hope that the voters will not notice that they — once the party of small government — have turned into the party of war-bungling, corruption-tolerating, pork-spewing power-lusting toads, while the Democrats desperately hope that the voters will not notice that they are still, basically, the Democrats.
