<<The ultimate truth about that article is... why should workers slave in a hot, dangerous, mine that is knocking on Hell's door for only $160/month?? Why is it that extracting one ounce of shiny metal from 2-3 tons of primeval rock worth even one human life??>>

At least that "one oz. of shiny metal" has uses & might last for all time - Ever looked into the number of workers who die at 7-11's (& other all night places) each year here in our "best economy of all times"?
