Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13There must be enough gold in this world to keep people happy. Why should people be allowed to destry something so natural to get some more.
Its just pure greed.
The more you have the more you want.
Its not fair to the little guys.
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.
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.
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!
yes, should be obvious now - the Bush family is one of the most corrupt political families, anywhere, anytime.

Will someone please provide a link to the petition in opposition to this travesty?
This earth was created for us to care for and enjoy. Gold and Silver.......these create meer bobbles. These minerals are not eatable. We've stripped so many 1000's of acers of the earth, for farming, housing, drug platations.....etc...we have scared this sacred place God created for us, for what? GREED !!
I pray you'll come to your senses.....money is nothing.......but walking outside to see green grass, tree's, birds and all the glorious possibilities that are free to us......"nature" is slowly slipping away.......our grandchildren will have nothing left but asphalt jungles and anilmals in zoo's. Not such a good legacy. Please let this go.
Here's a link to a site that links to an online petition. I built the site very quickly, so please excuse its simplicity. Please sign the petition and it will be forwarded onward to the appropriate people. Also, contact major news sources in your area or the US. Links are also provided there.
Feel free to email me any comments or suggestions.
Thanks!

At what point was gold classified as more valuable then water? Who was the idiot who started this beleif? Peoples lives are at risk. 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.
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.
Sorrry for going off point
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" as "Bush" puts it. He is the one.
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.

Guys honestly, do you believe everything you read on the internet?! Do some research. First of all, George Bush is in NO way affiliated with Barrick Gold. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm intrigued by your comments, A-Lo. Can you cite some sources for this information? It would be very helpful to all who read these posts. I'm sure all readers would like to make an informed decision.
Many thanks!
is there a petiotion on the web that i can sign?
I got a email petitions but I don-t think it will ever help
thanks
