Wow, the Magna Carta is for sale. The document written to protect the freedom of people is on the auction block! I wonder what condition it is in?
Mary – I too am glad it is only the paper which is for sale and not the freedom we enjoy.
Some things really don’t change!
David Rubenstein bought the Magna Carta tonight for $21.3M. It’s staying where it belongs- in the National Archives.

It’s amazing to me the things that people will buy and sell. Thanks goodness it is not our freedom that is on the aution block!
Very interesting post. I wonder what the people who wrote that document so many years ago would think if they could see the way our government is run today. Nice title too. Catchy.
Glad it is staying in town…and “just” a paper- the paper that establishes habeous corpus, also ends the notion of laws made by the King’s whim. Important indeed.Terry McDonald
