The owners have an opportunity, obviously, since this is suddenly the most famous piece of real estate in the world. Only an idiot would fail to cash in on that in some way. Likely they have consultants working on the issue, even as we post. [my cynical (and usually correct) side speaking]

What I find to be odd is the attitude that various publications, and the general popolous seems to have, that we (the people of the US), not we (the owners or tenants), can do whatever we want with the property.

I find particularly odd the folks who think that "we" should just build some kind of monument and not develop the property comercially. If we want to entertain fantasies like this, we should buy the property first. Or should we do an eminant domain on the unfortunate owners?

How come I'm suddenly the only libertarian in the crowd? Or is this a patriotism issue?
