Black Swans, Mines, Guatemala

Jack Caldwell's I Think Mining has been on my list of links down there on the bottom right of the screen for at least a year and a half and I read his articles on RSS, which is a great little interwebnetpipes feature, btw. If you don't use RSS you don't know what you're missing and how much easier life gets by having your fave authors' stuff sent straight to you.

I digress. Back to Caldwell. He's a very experienced and knowledgeable minehead and shares his independent views on many issues (including opera), but the latest post from the man is well worth a visit. Called 'The Black Swan of Mining', it muses in a pragmatic way on enviro and social issues of mines. Fully recommended thinkpiece. Here's the link again.
