To understand that the vastly expanding economies of China, India, Brazil and others are creating a scramble for resources as diverse as common coal, copper, silver, gold and diamonds, is as natural as the dawn that follows the dark. And for these nations it is indeed a new dawning after centuries of too many people and too few resources to become rich upon. That is, relegated to most living in dark poverty, while some few rose to brilliance and wealth. And thus, these new powers have expanding companies and the west finds that it is now often outbid.



Each month we learn of another company long considered of the west, or a particular nation, being bought by an Indian company that finds it's billion people market needs expanding. But while these new dynamos are using their brains, resources they must buy from those who have them. And in hot desert Australia and in cold polar bear country in Canada new diamond finds of an abundance unforeseen have created a diamond rush that could remind you of California in 1848. Except the cry now is there are diamonds in them there rocks.

But these are both democracies, and that makes such a huge difference to that formerly mystery world of blood diamonds, land mines, warlords. Not in Australia or Canada, if you please. We have Sergeant Preston of the Mounties and his sled dogs; the Australian version may involve a Australian Mountie, with one side hat brim folded down, with a kangaroo and a boomerang. But in Canada, I had four daughters, all now grown with daughters of their own. And they all rode horses, figure skated, folk danced, and each contest required a new costume.

My daughters would spend hours dragging me from sequin store to costume store to here and there: it seemed we spent more time worrying about the impression we would make, than actual time spent getting the performance more perfect. And I now think what a song my daughters would have sung, if these low bid loose diamonds net sites had existed when they were happy with mere sequins. I say this in case you are not aware just how many of the unusually smaller clumped Canadian diamonds allow for bargain bins in most diamond sites.

You could purchase a bundle of lower cost smaller diamonds from one of the warehouse bins, purchase a small burgundy bag, and present to the angel in your life. Or angels. A few habits of this, and she would eventually be in front of an appraiser, who confirms she has the security deposit for her own new condo. And if you live to see that moment or not, you know whose eyes are going to sparkle like diamonds, in her thanks to you, where ever you are. And that is what makes you a diamond, in her eyes, happily ever after. And the warm deep loving feeling even envelopes you. Bliss is in giving, from the heart, to a heart, dear to you.
