I definitely don't think the arguments of the many concerned villagers are as simplistic or illogical as Blaise has made them seem. It's often not that simple a choice between for "development" and being "anti-development".
Try telling the mining-ravaged villagers that they need to "sacrifice" something for the sake of "global development". For China's economic growth, our mineowners (and the politicians they create), or for US overconsumption. At the end of the day, if we in the middle-classes (and above) sacrifice a little of our limitless wants, it surely wouldn't hurt anyone so greviously. On the contrary, we might all end up having healthier lifestyles ourselves, and having more to pass around to those who don't have enough to live on. Yet, everyone speaks in the name of "development" and believes they're doing the planet a great favour! Personally, I would anyday prefer a *poor* mobile signal to potential hazards which are still only being properly understood. Better still, can we push for improved BSNL landline facilities, that have served us well even when these were in skeletal form in the early 1990s?
