Maybe you should talk about her with a little respect because she would never stoop to being so rude about you. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brittany]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 17th 2008 4:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on One God Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/17/one-god-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/17/one-god-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[Screw those polytheistic religions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[simon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2008 3:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on One God Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/17/one-god-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/17/one-god-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[So why associate reasonable goals like reducing poverty and suffering with references to a short list of cultural myths & traditions that still manages to exclude more than half the population of the planet (who don't practice any of those particular religions)?

What about the precious metals? Are they fair trade?  Mined by ecologically sensitive means?  Hand-made by whom? For what rate of pay?  It would be kind of ironic if pendants intended to reduce global hardship were funding some warlord's slave-camp mining efforts or displacing subsistence farmers who had the misfortune to be farming over (exportable) silver deposits.<br><br>A lofty goal marred by sloppy thinking.<br><br>"One People" or "All Are One" would have been better, more inclusive sentiments.<br><br>Oh, wait -- is the jewellery supposed to be ironic?<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Crosius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 29th 2008 12:50PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
