[[In Cape Cod, right-wing demagogues are using the politics of fear to demand a mass cull of sharks and seals.]]

I’m more for culling ticks- mass culling- DDT- Now in Mass- saw last night mosquitos are carryign EEE (Equine encephalitis) and infecting people quite a bit now- they are startign to spray for them again-

We used to spray but enviros stopped it- and mosquitos erupted- making summer pretty miserable- (not to mention the black flies- deer flies etc)

but the tick issue is bad- and getting much worse- many many folks are getting infected- compare that to the number of folks getting attacked by sharks- the numbers aren’t even close- There is a tick epidemic sweeping the US- and noone seems to be up in arms about it even though it is completely ruining many people’s lives/health
