if people are willing to pay a lot of money for diamonds then maybe its not a worthless peice of crystallized carbon. even in a geology class they teach that its a valuable mineral. and not every diamond comes from exploited miners, i saw a peice about this on the news a few months ago, and actually a lot of the jewelers try to make sure the diamonds they sell are "clean". I think it would be interesting to hear what Hootie has to say about this since she works at a jewelery store.
