The libs will soon claim that the ban on DDT was orchestrated by Republicans bent on keeping the impoverished 3rd world under US imperialistic domination.

Unfortunately it was an the administrator (William Ruckelshaus) of the EPA under a Republican administration (Nixon) that banned DDT, and to make matters worse, it was proved to him that DDT was not harmful to humans, birds, or anything beyond a few species of bugs (mainly mosquito's). It should be noted that the catalyst for this ban were the leftest freaks who hate all chemicals with the exception of those that give them a cool psychedelic buzz.

I agree 100% with the usage of DDT here but will the
gov't have the cajones to stand up to the enviro-nazis?
They've been screaming about 'bad for children' on talk radio.
Is it a requirement that membership in this group: enviro-nazi, not be capable fo rational thoguht? That's my guess. . . they think with their emotions only, just as all other 'RATs do.
