Give him a break! He’s a graduate of BERKELEY. That means that he has a head on his shoulders. Who is against mining in the USA if it saves raping, muderiing, and pillaging Congolesse natives? I think this is a good cause.

LOL! If he went to berserkly he might have a head on his shoulders but what’s it full of? I’m just tired of sports figures and “celebreties” weighing in on things as if they have some special insight in to the issue. Most cases they are fed surface info and don’t do any real research into the issue at hand. Probably is a good cause but without more research on my part, I can’t really say if it is or not.

I’m with you on this one.

Developing US resources is always a good idea, and the war in the Congo is especially brutal and nasty - some 6 million killed.

You are mixing up 2 separate issues. Rodgers is against using minerals from the Congo, but NOWHERE in the story does it say he's for mining those materials in the USA. His cause is to stop the mining in the Congo. The people in favor of mining in the US say that's the solution to the problem, but Rodgers organization aint on that train.
