I'm thinking that the great State of Oklahoma should be exempt from the federal law banning DDT. To the best of my knowledge, I have no friends of relatives living in that State. Let's spray the shit out of OK with DDT and start with Sen. Coburn's street. jttmab

Racheal Carson, biggest murderer the planet has ever had, 800,000 kids a year and still counting. 50 years, she's probably killed over 100 million people and counting

"So I can tell you some facts. I know you haven't read any of what I am about to tell you in the newspaper, because newspapers literally don't report them. I can tell you that DDT is not a carcinogen and did not cause birds to die and should never have been banned. I can tell you that the people who banned it knew that it wasn't carcinogenic and banned it anyway. I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus irrevocably harmed the third world. Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the twentieth century history of America. We knew better, and we did it anyway, and we let people around the world die and didn't give a damn." sullivan-county.com
