Day 20: Blood Diamond

I went to see Blood Diamond last night with my buddies Eric and Jay. It was pretty amazing. I was not expecting to be entertained as much as I was. Especially by Leo Decap.

It's a pretty brutal movie about diamonds that come out of these war torn areas of Africa. I have been aware for years that most diamonds are mined in Africa by the locals in almost slave like conditions. However, I did not know the kinds of things humans are putting each other through over there for the right to have and sell these diamonds.

I wonder, if people knew that someone lost an arm for their diamond necklace what they would do. Would they give it back? Would they even care?

Jesus. What is wrong with us?








This is interesting as well.
