Hey Lindy, Are we sure that DDT was harmless? You know sometimes modernity does make mistakes. I think you're old enough to remember thalidimide, which is now coming back into use for a very different treatment, but which caused great hardship to unsuspecting mothers in Germany when it first was introduced.

While I believe that environmentalists have tended to be extreme, I am glad to have some level of checks and balances in our small planet!
