Somebody with power guns and money telling me "oh, don't let the
people we don't like have money. They're 'bad.'" I don't trust 'em.

Again, I don't know what's really going on with "blood diamonds" but
from what I can tell, I sure don't trust the issue. Looks like a scam.

Ah good, you had me freaking out. Though I was willing to understand
that "for some reason the fakes just don't count." Who can tell with
