In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.
it would be interesting to see diamonds fall back to a price equivilant to what they are really worth. Diamonds (other than jewelry) really have a very limited function in the real world. However gold and platinum both have some great properties that make them actually useful in many different feilds, where as the diamond is only really good for cutting things. Question is though, if the markets fail will DeBeers still extort a high price out of these common rocks?
