Walter Vergara, the World Bank official who headed the unit that dismissed DDT in Ecuador, defended the decision to me: ''DDT has an awful impact on the biosystem and is being eliminated by the world community. There are alternatives. We're not the only species on the planet.''
Walter's probably never had to see a relative die from malaria just so that a bird egg shell could be protected -- and even that's questionable.

Right! I hate this extreme concern about a bird egg while thousands, thousands die! The world is totally insane.
