I used to tell my students that Rachel Carson (lauded by their textbook) was inadvertently responsible for more human deaths than Hitler and Stalin combined. There was a college professor who ate a pound of DDT to show how safe it was. The kids would ask “What happened?” I’d say, “He died...30 years later while mountain climbing in his 80s.”
Yes, what a cluster Obama that whole DDT thing was/is. Some dumb bastards in the bowels of our communist government haven’t figured it out yet.
I live in Freetown, Sierra Leone and tell people about DDT and Rachel Carson as many times as I can. I keep hoping some bright entrepreneur will start up a company making DDT and save Africa.
