Twit Post: Update on Diamonds

I wanted to update on the diamond post I posted a while ago. While the article I discussed was fairly critical of the trade I have run across a video produced by National Geographic about the diamond trade and blood diamonds. Essentially the video shows the track from mine to ring through the dark underbelly of Africa. The diamonds are used specifically because they can be sold and can be used to store wealth very easily. (The opposite of the discussion in the other article.) If you have an hour it is a really neat video to watch.
