Closer to the truth.

All because DDT was the first great cause of the enviro movement and they can't admit all the fallacies that helped create the ban on its use. To do so would put a huge chink in their "savior of the world" armor. They care nothing about human suffering. All that is being proposed is the use of DDT in dwellings - not even agricultural use. But the wackos will have nothing to do with it because they can't admit that they were wrong about DDT. Used judiciously, DDT is not harmful to humans or the environment. It is questionable as to whether it even affects birds eggs when used for other widespread needs. What a bunch of Nazis!
