<<PS Mining is a honest way to earn a living. Nothing more nor less. Now I'd be interested in hearing from you how the gold mining industry is superior to all other industries, as you seem to insinuate, if you'd care to travel down that road.>>

It is a trained profession, the same as yours or mine. Yes, we can all change, but at what cost? Often the greatest "investment" anyone has is in thier profession during peak earning years.

Cyanide Spill Gets Closer to Danube
UPI
February 14, 2000

Cyanide spilled from a gold mine has "killed" a Romanian river and the contaminated water was flowing toward the Danube.
The British Broadcasting Corp. reported Sunday that about 3.5 million cubic feet of cyanide dumped into the Tisza river has been making its way downstream through Romania, Hungary and Yugoslavia and toward the Danube, the major river route from Germany to the Black Sea.

Environmentalists, calling the spill the greatest ecological catastrophe in Europe since the Chernobyl nuclear accident, estimated that 80 percent of the fish in the Tisza have died because of the spill.

"The Tisza has been killed," lamented Yugoslav Environment Minister Branislav Blazic. "Not even bacteria have survived."(cont)
