A question of scruples

My sisters and I found the game on a shelf in the spare room and had great fun one afternoon, reading all the cards and imagining that these were the essential questions—firings, breakups, found money, and alcoholic, newspaper-stealing neighbours—that occupied adults.

So here's your question of scruples for today:

You're a member of an Indian band. A few years ago you joined with thousands of environmentalists to protest the logging of very old trees on your land. Now, mining companies tell you that under your land may be the largest deposit of copper in the world. Removing it, however, would require digging an open-pit mine. Your environmentalist comrades are appalled that you are even considering it.
