    Blood Diamond indeed...it's food for thought definitely. I have little doubt what's said is true as far as big companies not knowing...perhaps even on purpose where their suppliers get the raw metals from...

    Not sure what if anything we can do..but...at least now I know,

    Wow. That almost makes me feel bad for playing videogames.

     Yeah... I'd heard that before. Definitely an interesting read.

    Seems like it's getting harder and harder to find "fair trade" anything these days. Sad Good for Sony for at least attempting/pretending to change its purchasing patterns...

    That's the problem, we really have to pick our battles.  I do not wear diamonds and will not purchase them or allow DH to, but I'm sitting on a computer and have no idea what backstory there is about the parts that went into it or the people working in the manufacturing shops to assemble it.  I feel like I'd have to live on a self-sustained compound in order to be completely organic, environmentally minded, and fair trade.
