Remember the DDT hoax? This is merely an end run in an attempt at gun control. The California legislature should apply this to gang members in LA and various other locations. Will they fine them for drive by shooting into houses, cars and people?

The so-called hoax was not a hoax at all. That stuff is dreadful. Very bad for the birdies. I ‘spect you think Agent Orange is just fine too??

DDT almost killed the bald eagle. In the 1960s there were less than 500 nesting pairs of bald eagles in the lower 48. That’s THE TRUTH.
There is nothing wrong about learning new things about chemicals we use. I suspect you deny that PCBs are bad too. Tell it to the people of Anniston, AL. Monsanto has had to pay to raise the entire town it was so polluted. The top twenty feet of topsoil had to be removed. Fish put into a nearby stream were floating in 15 secs and dead in 20.
People with you attitude Chief… can be very dangerous to the lives and wellbeing of other humans.

No doubt the “fact” that “that stuff is dreadful” more than justifies the FACT that over 1 million children per year have died of preventable malaria over the past 25 years. Besides, the vast majority of those deaths occurred in Africa, and we all know they would probably have grown up to contract HIV/AIDS anyway. Better to let malaria get ‘em while they’re young and maintain the aura of politically correct respectability, than to risk the well-being of some birds and save 25 to 30 million black kids, eh?

Bullshit. Bald Eagle declines were not connected to DDT. No species declines have ever been connected to DDT.

You can prove no cause and effect relationship there, Sparkie. You are drinking the leftie enviro KoolAid on this one.
