There will always be anti-mining interests, all flavours of them, including indios who want to stay indios, no matter what ... some change comes with new generations, often, but not always, and you definitely cannot push the river in this respect, trust me, i've seen up close attempts to do this fail, been involved as go-between in a couple, the obstinance is completely firm, you cannot change some with anything, much less money, it's their land, it's their life, it's their right according to their own gods, if you have rejected out of hand the option of thorough ethnic cleansing as a solution, then you simply walk away Let's just not develop orebodies under people who think this way, why look for trouble ... in the areas i know best there are hills and valleys, from one valley to the next the culture and quite often the language as well changes radically, you'll find completely different attitudes towards change and towards outsiders - the latter of which is extremely important, the question will be not so much whether to permit mining, it's whether or not to let foreigners do anything at all, even enter the homeland ... more a small-area issue than a national one, usually, imho There will always be the professional greenie anti-mining types as well, as educated and literate as we are, with more time to spend and quite likely with more money ... this is inevitable, just the way things are going to be, but possibly not altogether a bad thing - mining can have huge effect, some of it in the past quite drastic, it must be done better than that ... when the pro greenies are being ridiculous, it just makes responsible miners look good by comparison, but there will be times they make reasonable points, and in those there will be lessons we better listen to
