But there are some simply choices we can make that may not have a large beneficial effect for us, but certainly can help those in the world around us. An easy first example would be diamonds, which I have written an analysis about here. [...] [...] I’m not saying investigate every last purchase you make.

I thought that would be the end of it, but that’s just not the case. [...] [...] Well, a long time ago I did a post about social responsibility as it relates to consumer products, namely: diamonds.

I agree with you in many ways. At the same time, it is an incredibly personal topic so I'm curious to see how people respond as well. "Naming names", so to speak, isn't comfortable. National Geographic ran an article on the diamond business a few years back. I remember my dad read the article and told my mom he was never buying another diamond. You can read it <a HREF="http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/data/2002/03/01/html/ft_20020301.1.html" rel="nofollow">HERE.</A> And you're right - we want to find a loophole that legitimizes our lifestyle. But at the end of the day, there are people dying of hunger and thirst while we have our ipod's, fancy cell phones, tivo's, you name it... I'd rather ignore this because when i think about it, I really get a huge knot in my stomach. But maybe it's time to face the truth. iunzabpd Very good piece, Eric.
