The ban on DDT use is responsible for the deaths of millions in Africa. Thanks to good thinking liberals.

I'd be willing to go to war with the EPA to use DDT on them. We'd each have our own swat teams. And when we ran out of ammo, we'd just raise taxes and buy more. Sound good?

Credit Rachel Carson and her book The Silent Spring for the DDT ban. Every good intension has un fore seen consequences. People die so wildlife can strive. On the other hand had the use of DDT not been banned insects would be immune to it by now.
