I “lived” in Monkey county for 30+ years before escaping to UT a few years ago. It is LIB heaven and hell for everyone else.

You are right! There was a tiny flag at the BOTTOM of the page!
That wasn't put there until the hours between 9AM and 3PM, I might add.
Rodamala said that they put the Carson banner up right away.

It is too convenient blaming Rachael Kookson. She did write the book to start the Magic Thinking on environment. But It is the army of bastards who have used the fantasy to push an entire Magic Thinking agenda to empower their masters which is truly at fault. While vermin like Al Goreghoul rant about a fictional emergency due to carbon dioxide, the real pollution of waterways and soils has accelerated under a foolish screen ignoring what industry and sewage plants are doing to what actually sustains the biosphere. The fools who worship at the stages of the Gores and Carsons will never awaken to the truth which has been so thoroughly suppressed in favor of using the myths from the ghouls to empower the oligarchs.

No mention how Carson's book and subsequent banning of DDT resulted in the death of millions in the Third World when malaria came back with a vengeance. But to the Left killing millions for a cause is their modus operandi. Progressive response: Hey, if malaria had not killed them, they'd be starving now, and killing and eating one another!

Rachel Carson ending DDT use and even production created a malaria genocide that has killed more people in Africa than Hitler did in the Holocaust. Her legacy of pseudo science and environmental activism is everywhere. Mumps, measles and even polio that were almost eradicated are coming back because of similar pseudo science studies that supposedly linked vaccinations with autism. Phony science has driven the global warming movement into a cult that threatens technical civilization and democracy...all thanks to Rachel Carson starting the ball rolling with her now demonstrated false data.
To: The Great RJ
I knew most of what you said, except for the "demonstrated false data." I'd like to read up on that and maybe pass it on. Can you get me the link to where her false data was debunked?
I notice this article claimed she didn't oppose the "use" or DDT, just the "misuse" --- whatever that means.

Oh, they snuck in a little flag with a yellow ribbon around the middle of the day. It was about as big as your FReeper name on the screen. Seriesly.

Lots of good links in this Reason article:
http://reason.com/archives/2002/06/12/silent-spring-at-40
DDT causing thinning eggshells and being a human carcinogen were not supported by rigorous scientific data. Carson’s concept of a silent spring, where DDT poisons and eventually kills all avian life, was absolute garbage. Yet because it struck a chord with Gaia-worshippers, her radical environmentalism is still a strong influence today.

There is no full recovery from malaria, the relapses hopefully get less severe over a long time.
I got the bug when I was in the RVN in 1970; had a relapse about 3 years ago, you just learn to live with it.

My Pops held dual degrees in Chemistry and English and wound up writing pro DDT pamphlets just prior to the release of this classic of quack science. My Pops labeled it as anti-science from the beginning. Malaria was on the way to eradication before this insanity took hold of the Book Clubs. DDT was also used to control bedbugs and the last two and a half decades has seen a plague of bedbugs across the US. The EPA has one agent for control - but so far, has not deigned to allow its use. More of the hapless and destructive “precautionary principle” upon which much of our bureaucratic Gordian Knot is built. Carbon Dioxide fantasies have now been added to the cultural and economic destruction wrought by Carson and her friends in the UN, EPA, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, World Wildlife Fund, etc.

It's interesting that the white facing on her suit looks like an omega. The end, indeed, for many.

There is a wide range of estimates for the total number of deaths caused by malaria, but the World Health Organisation generally reports around a million deaths each year from the disease, out of somewhere between 300-500 million cases. In total, it is estimated that 3.3 billion people are at risk from malaria, which is almost half the worlds population!
DDT was wrongly banned because of her book. She and anyone who bought the book or taunted it and it's premises are KILLERS of millions of people.
