Something I should have published a long time ago...

Sometimes it really sucks knowing right from wrong. Just last week a friend offered to buy me a net book and what do I do? I think about it! Because I know coltan is an ingredient in all of our modern day technologies: cell phones, computers, etc. I also know that this mineral is found in the Congo and this is why they are having a war over there; this is why women are being raped and people are being mutilated and tortured...so that I can have my iPhone or Dell Netbook. Unfortunately, I also know right from wrong and for some reason one just doesn't justify the other. So what did I do? I got angry...WITH MYSELF! Who thinks about stuff like this, you know? So I go online in search of a coltan-free Netbook. What did I find? Not a damn thing! Why have, all this time, I thought these things were made from plastic. But no, no, no it's made from some rare $%@* in the ground over in Africa where they're killing and torturing people to access it. Where they're raping women with knives and forcing mothers to eat their children. Where they make husbands watch as a group of soldiers rape his wife...where all this evil $#*& is happening and all I want is a damn Netbook. Why the hell are companies using this material anyway?! F*($! All I WANT IS A NETBOOK WITHOUT HAVING THIS $%*# ON MY CONSCIOUS!... but don't let me ruin it for you...the big companies sure have not. Ignorance sure is bliss.
