easter island stone heads are 'dying'! - General Tiki

Anybody up for another "V-Vote", this time to the Chilean government? We could try to stir up another "save this irreplacible bit of Tiki culture" campaign, but we'd need to know exactly what the current preservation status is, what funding is necessary to complete it, and whether those involved might even want our help. Maybe SwampTiki, preservation specialist extraordinaire, might know how to go about it (?). If every TC member donated $10.00, would it pay for the sealer? The equipment? Local labor? Hey, at least we could take some hope that [some real estate fat-cat] isn't waiting in the wings to bulldoze 'em before they might be rescued and preserved. I'll try if everybody else will. It'd be pretty cool if TC actually helped to save 'em, yes?
