I bet when they finally stop making them here (probably by the end of the decade), they DON'T do "the program," and they PROBABLY won't lift the ban for some time afterwards. I just have a feeling it will be their way of keeping the public either placated about the change, or - more likely - entirely unaware of the change. Placated because, as they will say, "they are still everywhere, and you can still use them every day."Posted: Sun May 18, 2014 11:44 pmblackrabbit wrote:Too bad they did not mention realcent.

Well, that's about the size of it. A gal like her, story investigator / interviewer that she is... I wonder what the chances are, of her actually seeing the value of this copper "mining" endeavor, rather than just putting the time into research, gaining a perfunctory understanding of why some people do it, getting the story done, shrugging and moving on to the next story. I don't mean to disparage her, just know it's very unlikely she will ingest any of the truth or reasoning from what she discovered. Right?
Oh, and for those two big words up there... here you go...

+1. Certainly. Labor intensive is basically what EVERYONE thinks this is, when I explain what it is I do.
