Cheers, thanks man. 

Losing Jeff was a blow.  I had the great pleasure to speak with him several times and share a lunch.  His mind was...amazing.  He will be missed.

What happened at Roswell? We went from “USAF captures a flying saucer” to “Roswell crash just a weather balloon” in 24 hrs.   The Bigfoot body would disappear and in its place would be some mangy bear with no ears on the slab.   But let’s say it gets out and stays out to the public?   The government is gonna look really really silly first and foremost. And then every 411 missing family is gonna start asking questions. Who is responsible? What is truly out there? Why didn’t you warn us?    The next step will be the uncovering of the cover up. And the government will quickly go from looking silly to looking like lying backstabbing bureaucrats. And that’s probably when the lawsuits start flying in…   When the dust settles it would be awesome for the government to set aside some resources for the promotion of the species. Although I am resolute in my pro kill stance? I have no ill will towards the species as a whole and once recognized they should be protected. They should not be allowed to go extinct.   Lastly it would be one of the greatest discoveries of mankind. Right up there with putting a man on the moon. We are not alone. We have a cousin that still walks the earth living in the same primitive way our ancestors did. Wow!

Bedlam.     Just to start, the environmental industry (and every lawyer associated with them) begin suits to limit homo sapien activities of all kinds in Bigfoot range in order to honor the "Indigenous and tribal peoples’ rights over their ancestral lands and natural resources: Norms and jurisprudence of the inter‐American human rights system. OEA/Ser.L/V/II, December 30, 2009"   http://www.oas.org/en/iachr/indigenous/docs/pdf/report-indigenous-peoples-voluntary-isolation.pdf   The circus would grow from there..............     Unknown. It would take decades for government to deal with it legislatively and judicially. In the meantime, temporary measures would be initiated to keep sasquatches safe from people until the courts finally rule on measures.     Again, it would take years to really get a good idea of the extent of social, commercial, environmental, and other damage that would occur.   A good example would be how people react to a gold strike. As an Alaskan, I have a really good grasp of it, both currently (gold at $3500+ per ounce as I type) and historical, and how it affected aboriginal peoples, but an even better example would be the gold rush in the Black Hills of South Dakota on sacred Lakota land protected by the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, which resulted in a mass violation of the treaty, sparking mass migration of miners into the region. This led to increased conflict between the US and Lakota, known as the Great Sioux War of 1876, which was pretty much the final nail in the coffin of some 400 years of Indian Wars in North America.      

Going by the Government-Knows-and-suppresses-Bigfoot [GKSB] model:   If there was some Bigfoot on a slab in such a public way, where suppression was no longer possible, what happens next?    What would a post-bombshell proof of Bigfoot world look like?   What government actions would go into effect?   What actions would a GKSB government do?
