The Golden Rush

Gold Rush Today I have been watching burly men with heavy machinery despoiling Alaska in a hunt for gold, and when they have gone they will leave the heavy foot prints of man behind; a mutilated landscape! The mining companies are doing the same in Africa for their relentless hunt for riches, but all we see is boardrooms and nice suits legally plundering the land. Where I live no one is interested in the olive and carob trees the soil is meagre suitable for beans. So, for now, we can dwell in peace.
