More proof that all governments are corrupt a holes. Although how someone could think diamonds are cooler that Bushmen is beyond me.
I wonder what the bushmen call themselves. Probably not bushmen. I wonder if they would be offended if they knew we refered to them that way

On another diamond related note. I saw this article today. It's long (so I didn't read the whole thing), but it's interesting.

Fascinating! I always new about the Debeers monopoly but it is very interesting to read how it was done. Especially the marketing. Did you notice this article was written before most of you were born? Yet Debeers continues to this day. I'm going to send this to Chrissy. Behn, you should add her to the blog. We should hire these guys to market education. If they can do this for worthless pieces of rock image what they could do for something of value like education.
That is incredible. I don't even know what to say. I am curious as to how many other massive mind F%@#ing advertising campaigns I am being subjected to. Some of them are obvious, but this one is so organized and consistent. Dynamically able to adjust depending on the environment. That is just astounding.
