What an assinine statement. Diamonds are diamonds; I'll take cheap flawless ones over expensive flawed ones any day of the week.

But unless 2 or 3 child soldiers die, how will your wife know that you truly love her?

Diamonds and the child solder wars of Africa. You are right on to mention the econoterrorism of the Diamond industry. Thugs will take over a region of Africa and will keep the Diamond mine open to sell the gem stones on the open market. With the profit, they will buy more guns to do more destruction. I wonder if the moralistic hippies of the liberal left will tell women to stop wanting diamonds? After all, it is the hippy chicks who are against fur coats for women. If it is wrong to kill a mink for a fur coat, is it OK for 15 year old kids in Africa to kill each other in a rebel diamond mine region, for the diamonds? And what about the vegetarians? If it is wrong to kill a lamb for the dinner table to eat a steak, is it wrong for kids in Africa to kill each other for diamonds just so a woman may look pretty and impressive with a big rock.?! I have heard that Jennifer Anninston and other "Chicks" are wearing Moissanite gems to various big deal parties. I think women will be more and more into land. I have seen the trend. Real estate value keeps increasing. Women like to be given presants. Especially, presants which increase in value.

I guess you'll just have to give her a basket of hands.
