And no need of sacrifice non born fetuses.

Dude, I pointed it out in my first post of any substance about DDT, at 12:41

Now I did phrase it differently, but it’s right there, at the start of my post
Yes, there is some natural immunity, and eventually DDT, like any other pesticide or antibiotic will become ineffective.
but the meaning is the same, at least to me it is.

interesting that you didn’t add that part until someone pointed it out to you.

the value of oversight and regulation can’t be underestimated.

Lots of love to you!

I shall return.

Right, I was commenting on the public uproar part, not the clean water part. as in public uproar can help you die of malaria, by making it harder to spray pesticides.

America, we have a problem.

DDT it’s not the only pesticide out there, and it’s the most toxic, older in discovery, persistant, and accumulative in body tissues. Hardly the best choice.
It’s also one of the cheapest, and until the insects develop a resistance, the most effective.

Yeah, what an honour *sheesh*

BTW, I said CLEAN water.

And, spreading for a decade means a series of things: mosquitos develop a resistance, because there exists a generation, if not more, per year, while humans have a generation every 15 to 30 years, being generous. And, DDT it’s not the only pesticide out there, and it’s the most toxic, older in discovery, persistant, and accumulative in body tissues. Hardly the best choice.

And, if you’re so eager to save lives, fight for the cheapening of pesticides sold by the USA to third world countries.

Last bit: only legally? So, if you’re sure you wouldn’t be caught, you’ll engage into it? Wow.

But apparently it can help you catch malaria.

It’s cost/benefit that’s worth it in my mind. Spray for a decade to disrupt the breeding cycle to get rid of Malaria. The millions of lives saved are worth the thousands of birth defects it will cause.

Also, I’m agnostic, so inbreeding isn’t a biblical No-No to me, just a legal one.

Dude, first off, I didn’t say anything about ANWR.

True, sorry. The answer must be applied to the post of hacker bob.

Second, if DDT is responsible for Deliverance, we should spray more, maybe it’ll help Hollywood create more great movies. But I’m assuming that the kid was supposed to be inbred, not chemically altered.

Well, I liked Terminator 2, but I don’t think that pressing the red button and build killer robots is the right thing to do. And, I liked The Dead Zone, but that doesn’t mean that I must like Bush.

And, the development of children is affected by DDT as is by inbreeding, so spraying DDT amounts as the same as the sin of laying with your sister to the eyes of God. I know, I know, you will jump and say that you’re atheistic, missing wilfully the point of the answer, but both we know what I’m meaning.

Third, it’s illegal due to the book ‘Silent Rain’ which is based on research and extrapolations, quite a bit of which were flawed. But it was enough to panic people into banning it.

Studies later have demonstrated that it’s highly persistent in nature, and the human tissues, and has harmed many animal species who weren’t the target of the spraying. I don’t need to play the russian roulette with an automatic weapon, full clip, to know that it’s bad.

Forth, we banned it after we had used it to stop Malaria. Other nations could do the same.

The fact is that DDT was banned when it was demonstrated that it’s bad enough for humans. Was thanks to public uproar? Yes. But no public uproar can ban you from drinking clean water.

And, Squeggy, ANWR is only as a bandaid for a stake in the heart of the modern society: fossil fuels will not last. Six months worth of oil will not save the world of the problem of the ever increasing need for oil and its subsequent neverending increase in cost. And, six months worth of oil doesn’t offset the value of a natural reserve.

Two things: if it’s sooooo good, why is banned the use of DDT in the USA? And, you know what caused DDT in the Southern USA? Babies like the banjo player of Deliverance.

ANWR drilling is a farce and lie, read extensive report’s on this dumbass drilling and in many report’s the crude was going to japan by ship’s..EXXON Valdese spill’s any one.? Yep the plan is to ship it not use it here..More lies from this administration and the basterd senator in alaska…Most of the Alaskan resident’s did not and do not want it there, especielly the true natives.. But we all know about the bridge to no where senator, right?..He his family and cohort’s buy up property and then scream and yell for fund’s to build bridges and road’s to develop their land, sell and make a profit all on our tax dime’s..Never mind the inviroment or the tribes..It’s all money honey….Blessings
