I get that diamonds have the stigma of resulting in the deaths of countless little children in Africa, but don't children get maimed and killed in the garnet industry, too? And rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topaz, and all the other precious stones? It seems to me like just an inverse "Diamond is Forever" campaign.

But I could be wrong? Maybe the conditions surrounding other gems are less inhumane? I don't know. I don't buy Nike because of those reasons, but I know that all other shoe and clothing manufacturers are victims of the same crimes. Just, Nike's special.
