    I've seen VERY expensive diamonds, and I just plain don't see what
    the attraction is. 

    "I don't care for diamonds".  That shouldn't be hard to understand. 

    Now, if you ALSO want to get into the SOCIAL issues of diamond
    mining, a powerful single family controlling stockpiles of crushed,
    pressurized carbon, the human cost of mining, racial issues
    involved, etc. etc. etc. ... well, probably best leave that alone.  I
    didn't care for diamonds BEFORE I knew all about that stuff. 

    Frankly, I like Moissanite better.  And I don't like THAT all that
    much, either.
