Ebear can you ask your mother to move to a different forum. Thanks.
This is just getting too weird...heh.
My mother is one of those activists for whom no cause is too small. Our present situation would pose a real dilemma for her though. On the one hand, she'd be outraged at the loss of employment our poor indigenous brothers are suffering - on the other, she'd be outraged that we propose to tear into Mother Earth with big machines and carry off her gold.
There's just no pleasing some people.
