I complained to Americans for Prosperity’s local folks about the title, too.

However, the title of the actual movie comes from an African activist, fighting to make DDT legal. The ban on DDT has caused the deaths of millions, due to malaria. The activist said that those who banned DDT “were not evil, just wrong” -— since those who made DDT illegal really thought DDT was a health risk, to humans (it is NOT) and they really thought DDT was a threat to the environment (it is not).

Okay, so they were duped by evil, and doing evil.

What part of that excuses them?
