Apr 7th 2008 2:01PM Okay, this really irks me about today's blogs. Before commenting, it's fairly pertinent for people to do some research before they ramble on about a subject they clearly know nothing or "In Touch" magazine-worth of information.
Diamonds are created NATURALLY within the earth's core -it is the mining of them and the politics associated in the countries where they are sourced that are up for debate. A diamond is carbon - where, pray tell, is there anything unethical about its mere existence? THat's like saying a tree is unethical - seriously people.
The most obvious difference here is clearly noted between diamonds in W. Africa and diamonds mined in Canada.
W.Africa- slave workers, unethical treatement of people and un-enviromental mining practicies (nevermind the political nightmare that includes dicators, war profiteering)
Canada - same stone, sourced by fair-trade employees, treated under constitutional laws and extracting the SAME stone with minimum emissions practices
This is a rudimentary and BASIC description and if you aren't aware of these differences (or the grade 11 science class that taught you how a diamond is formed NATURALLY beneath the earth's surface), you really have no business commenting on the subject or berating anyone who HAS done their research (ie. Elizabeth) for something you are clearly not an expert on or posses even the most basic awareness of.

Apr 7th 2008 1:54PM Gee Global Dia.. you may have heard of this "rare" phenomenon called the "blood diamond" this "small" time director and "unknown" actor (Leonardo di Caprio) thought it was such an important issue, they made a movie about it
Read a book and do some research before having such a response which only indicates your lack of knowledge and awareness.
