Killer Communications

Coltan, short for Columbite-tantalite, is essential for the power-storing parts of cell phones, nuclear reactors, Play Stations, and computer chips. This substance is mainly mined in the Congo. Most of us are not aware the price on the life of many a poor worker and his family that mines for this. It is tragic when modern needs destroy a country and its people to such an extent. To be part of this modern world we must be part of the blame of what it has caused. The words from this article should be read by all. It is not just the obvious tragedies like Iraq that should call our attention, but all of them.

RAPE AS A WEAPON TO DESTROY A CIVILIZATION
SO I CAN USE A COMPUTER

We can't fix anything unless we know there is a problem...

We can't prevent the carnage above unless we are aware it's happening...

We can't make a difference if we're kept in the dark...

Obviously - the Dogs of Corruption don't care to inform We, The People...

Therefore - WE, The People must inform ourselves...

We should be informed that our purchases can cost the lives of an entire population, enslaved for a product most of us have never heard of, let alone imagine that we use in our everyday lives... can our rejected old products be recycled - can the VALUABLE COMMODITIES be reclaimed and reused and if they can be, why aren't we told why they SHOULD BE?

We, The People have the ultimate right and choice to determine what is and is not acceptable to our futures...

Everytime you lift that cell phone to your ear, think of the woman that may have had her hands chopped off because she couldn't produce enough of the 'superior product' that makes your cell phone 'more effective'...

Each time you flick that TV on with that remote - just check your kids haven't been too beaten up in their days work in the Western World and then spare a thought for the millions who are driven by slavery everyday so you don't have to get up to change the channel on your Television that you couldn't watch if it wasn't for the blood, sweat and death of the People of the Congo...

And while you're thinking about how that can be justified, maybe forward this article to everyone you know and ask if they know whether you can all recycle the some 50 000 000 Cell phones that go to dump sites a year... a few of those 'out of date computers' sitting in the back of the closet... and maybe we could show a little more respect for those remote controls that can be 'replaced if lost'...

The life that it may cost to give you that option can't be replaced...

Send the Link - make a difference...
