Rednecks and WalMart Trump Archeology and History

http://beforeitsnews.com/native-american-news/2013/07/alabama-city-destroying-ancient-indian-mound-for-sams-club-2447974.html

What gives them the authority? Seriously. A temporary council in a redneck town can destroy a historic site just to appease the financial desires of a company that will leave their employees working for peanuts?
 "I want to visit this town because it has an unique historical, archeological, 1,500 year old site. We can't see it anywhere else. It has stood the test of time." vs "Oh, look, Cletus! We should go to Oxford! They have a WalMart!"

I'm flashing back to the Taliban when they first took over Afghanistan and their first major act was to destroy the Buddhist statues.
