Mary O'Grady gives a summary about her mining experience in Guatemala and her opinion about the environmental movement that, she considers, is replacing the socialism and becoming a new kind of collectivism.  In Sipacapa, a poor town in San Marcos, the ideas of some groups of interest have been trying to stop the mining process and have even used violence to prevent local people from working in the mine.  Extreme environmentalism is opposed to development, which is important for the construction of a society of free and responsible persons.
