If you look at our financial investments in extractive industries, we're number one as a country, right? Globally we're number one. I observe that right now there's a lot of litigation going on with big tobacco. I don't know about you, but I'd be worried right now if I owned stock in a mining company. It might not be happening today, but I'll tell you, I've talked to people from other jurisdictions--Mozambique being one most recently--and they're not going to sit back for very much longer when they are seeing economic degradation and human rights abuses. I would think they'd be going to the courts. Would you not see that as a pattern if we don't do something like this soon, that this is going to happen?
