          A great photo essay!
          This story reminds me of how it may have been for the '49 prospectors in the gold rush to California.
          What's the worst crime that these tuskers are committing? Silting up what may have been a pristine river - yeah, it could be better, but be glad they're not somehow filtering out the bones with mercury. Would using electric motors that are being recharged on site by hydro-turbines, and capturing silt in ponds work? Are they continuing the thirst for ivory to the Asian market - these animals are long gone, and possibly protecting the elephants that are living. Do you think that sometime in the nebulous future that research on this bone field will somehow better mankind? I think most discoveries are made by amateurs, and it seems to me that these hard working guys could be doing a lot worse.

          If the women don\'t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

            I was hoping to find a vid with Dylan's voice that had pics of miners usings the 1850s water cannons/monitors, but we do the best we can. Here's an interesting Dylan/'49 in dubstep - not bad!

            This song was asking to be remixed since the original is so sloppy. Tried to tidy up the messy bits and inserted some dubstep love. I believe there to be g...
