Michael, I realize this thread is about "feelings," which aren't necessarily "facts," so you are certainly entitled to "feel" anything you want, regardless of "fact." However, before you start "feeling" that pesticides don't affect fertility and reproduction, you should actually make the effort to do a little research. You could (gasp) try reading some abstracts in medical journals published on the NIH website, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov You can try inputting as search terms "pesticides" and "fertility", you might find the results educational. I know I did, but then, I don't find "feelings" sufficient for understanding.

<<I don't think pesticides have had jack to do with decreases in male fertility (assuming uch a trend exists -- would you mind citing sources?).>> I did a brief web search on this yesterday and gave up. I have seen this trend discussed in scientific terms before, so I know it exists. I realize I have to do it, but it is getting quite frosty at the computer, and I am planning to jump under the thick and heavy covers soon, where I hope my warm kitty will join me. Perhaps tomorrow?
