<br />
Its just pure greed.<br />
<br />
The more you have the more you want. <br />
<br />
Its not fair to the little guys.Former President's Greed Show's Ture Colorshttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/75978#comment1512832006-05-27T01:11:53+00:00Greg BWith the on goings of the current U.S. administration, it's not surprising to se...With the on goings of the current U.S. administration, it's not surprising to see his father involved in the destruction of another Nation. There needs to be massive dissemination of information to the U.S. public and media concerning these atrocities. <br />
<br />
It’s clear to see that the only color this administration and the former President in interested in is Gold. And by all accounts, they are willing to get as much of it by any means necessary. This includes the destruction of and entire eco-system. <br />
<br />
At what point does the greed consume itself? Where does it all end? Maybe at the end of the food line, when there’s nothing left to eat. Remind me again; How does GOLD taste? And from where will the politicians get fresh water? Oh, what am I thinking there’s always bottle water, I’m sure they’ll be able to afford it!<br />

Nature is being ripped apart because a certain Bush is being inconsiderate. Everything requires water to survive. But what does he care, he'll be dead in a few years, the old bastard, with any luck it'll be sooner.bush ain't the only onehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/75978#comment1521592006-06-02T23:34:14+00:00nincothis is probably one of the most disgusting things i've heard of in a while. But...this is probably one of the most disgusting things i've heard of in a while. But i can't help but think about the other guys involved in this, both the bush's are very public figures renowned for their blundering stupidity. Could it be that the bush's have been manipluated into power by others to give us someone to throw the rocks at while more powerful people get on with quietly raping the world. It's widley know that politicians will bend policies and legistations to the will of big companies and there CEOs. I'm not excusing the bush's. They think they know what they are doing.<br />

Once a wise man told me that a fool will be born to destroy the world and the wise men will be helpless to stop this fool. It looks as if the "Choosen one" as "Bush" puts it. He is the one.<br />
I think we cannot stop, The American's had a golden opportunity they missed - the world will have to suffer. British missed their opportunity too, the clown has a messenger too, "The Blair’s" to spread the gospel.End of the World [2]http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75978#comment1535752006-06-13T15:22:10+00:00Srikingsmead at hotmail dot comIt looks as if our children will not be able to experience any good time in thei...It looks as if our children will not be able to experience any good time in their life. Once a wise man told me that a fool will be born to destroy the world and the wise men will be helpless to stop this fool. It looks as if the "Choosen one" is "Mr Bush". The American's had a golden opportunity to stop him, but they missed - the world will suffer. British missed their opportunity too, the clown has a messenger too, "The Blair’s" to spread the gospel.Highly biased and inaccurate info herehttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/75978#comment1547302006-06-21T04:39:52+00:00A-LoGuys honestly, do you believe everything you read on the internet?!

In the mid-1990s he participated as a member of the company's international advisory committee. But he was never an employee, board member, officer or director of the company.<br />
<br />
Secondly, if you investigate the facts, Chile has approved this project on the condition that Barrick cannot remove, destroy or affect any glaciers in any way, shape or form. The truth is 95 per cent of the gold is NOT under any glaciers whatsoever. The portion that is under ice cannot be mined, period.<br />
<br />
Thirdly, take a look at the situation on the ground and you'll find the local community is HUGELY supportive of this project. The Huasco Valley Water Users Cooperative held a special meeting where its members voted 94 per cent in favor of the mine. This group includes all 700 farmers in the valley, plus 2,000 other water users. Likewise, mayors from all four local municipalities have vocally supported the project. Not only that, Barrick has received over 50,000 job applications from local residents.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the environmental protection mechanisms on this project are so comprehensive, they would put most similar projects Canada and the United States to shame. In order to even operate the mine, Barrick has committed to maintaining the quality and quantity of water in the Huasco Valley. In violation of this regulation will halt mining operations immediately.<br />
<br />
To think Chile is a naive country that didn't plan for any of this is just insulting. To imply they just overlooked all the accusations in this e-mail petition is even more so. Come on people, use your heads.A-Lo Sources?http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75978#comment1555472006-06-26T17:25:09+00:00NanapullI'm intrigued by your comments, A-Lo.
