DDT killed far more than mosquitoes ever will. You can see that simply by looking at how many endangered species of birds there are after DDT was used widely. Without species of birds many other organisms' populations explode causing ecological collapse. Without predator species of the mosquito. There would be as many of them as there are now and you wouldn't have birds either. Also your proposal that we stop effective testing on pesticides would mean that someone could put something on the market more deadly then the Black Plague with little to no testing. Or it could kill something else. Whats next....?
well that was quick /s
not even worth one zot
Translation: Ignorant, primitive, useless negroes in Africa are worthless. Aint it great to be progressive?
We need some hard references on that one.
yeah, you're right. Around my house I refuse to use bar bait control mice, instead we keep a couple of rattle snakes in the basement, I turn them out upstairs whenever I go to work.

So you're in favor of millions dying, mostly women, children and babies in the Third World, from completely preventible diseases.
Do you hang around with the KKK?
Simply not true, worker.
DDT was "banned" by the Nixon administration based on totally flawed --- and there is no better word for it --- Junk Science. The irony is the Nixon people, specifically William Ruckelhouse (sp?), Nixon's EPA director, knew damn well it was bad science, knew damn well it would cause malaria rates to skyrocket in the 3rd world, knew damn well that millions would die from malaria as a result, but made the move and pressured the UN to follow through, because they saw it as good domestic politics. He simply ignored the solid evidence that his own scientists gave him.
