well i finally
cause it was on cable
saw blood diamon with leonardo di caprio
honey i put off seeing this for some time
mostly because it was going to bring up all that horror
about mutilation and people turning on themselves like
horrific vampires all in the name of diamonds
what happened in africa
in the conflict diamond issues
seemed even more horrible
than in other nations
because of all the mutilated children
their image is just too terrible to ignore
and yet of course
they were mostly ignored
yes
of course
preventing conflict diamonds from being sold
is one step towards stopping this
my fave line in the movie was
thank god there is no oil here
hmmmm
and yet here we are
killing in iraq
and wasn't this ultimately
a whole hell of a lot to do with harvesting
conflict diamonds
oil diamonds that is
oh money
why is so often dripping in blood
