Forever...




A diamond is forever.

A child's arm hacked off at the elbow will never grow back.

She will never wear a ring on that hand.

Diamonds cost more than money.

Forever.

Boycott diamonds.


I came across this tonight while reading some more on blood diamonds and I thought it was very powerful. I wish I could say these words were my own but I copied and pasted them directly from this site:

http://campus.murraystate.edu/academic/faculty/kevin.binfield/BloodDiamonds.html

This site brought me to another site called Green Diamonds where they invite you "to help clean or 'green' your diamond by supporting diamond mining restoration in Sierra Leone and bringing development and alternative livelihoods to those in need."
