If you're aware of it, do you know where your diamond came from? Did you ask? And to assume that people are socially conscious because of a movie is shallow.

Try that one for starters. You're right; it's not just diamonds. The issues spread much farther out, all in the name of vanity. Me? I have an antique ring waiting for me.
For the record, Blood Diamond is an excellent way to publicize an issue that's been ongoing for years so don't belittle its impact on the general public.
