And I quote(directly from their web site): "GoldBusters is a two-pronged campaign aimed at jewelry consumers on the one hand, and nations' gold reserves on the other. GoldBusters aims to depress the price of gold by asking governments and individuals to divest of gold investments and consumers to no longer purchase gold jewelry. Depressing the price of gold would lead to the decommissioning of many mines, and the dumping of exploration stocks by investors." Gold Price Manipulation?

Ron, <<Gold mining is ecologically destructive and encouragement should be made for their operations to re-direct into mining something that has more industrially redeeming values other than as jewelry or taking up vault space.>> Relative to many other industrial activities, mining is relatively benign if done responsibly. I assume then you have given up your car, take the public transit to work, walk to the local store for that extra quart of milk, use an electric (or better still a push mower) rather than a gas mower etc ?? If not, you are just as much part of the problem. MB
