I was raised with DDT. Still kicking. I am beginning to hate environs.

Rachel Carson is like Bambi. The emotional reaction overrules what is really true.

Rachel Carson is responsible for many deaths in the third world just like the gun control politicians are responsible for many deaths.

Whatever happened to Robert and Louise Loibl who swallowed DDT for three months straight? I haven't been able to figure that one out. They don't show up in any newspaper accounts of the mid-1970s and I can't find death records for either of them.

I found Robert on Ancestry.com in 2 minutes.

Name: Robert Loibl
Last Residence: 92054 Oceanside, San Diego, California, USA
BORN: 7 Jun 1910
Last Benefit: 92054, Oceanside, San Diego, California, United States of America
Died: Sep 1980
State (Year) SSN issued: California (Before 1951) Nothing on his wife.

Well, the author did ask the correct question, in wondering what happened to them later. If they both died early of some particularly gruesome cancer, or both grew a 3rd eyeball on a stalk coming out of their forehead, but it took 8 years to finally happen .... well, Carson has an argument.

Too bad the author couldn't be bothered to take the time. I may, I'd guess that the records are out there for the finding.

But, I too doubt that there will be anything to find. "Robert and Louise lived long, happy, and productive lives before expiring at a ripe old age" doesn't sell newspapers.

"Right Wing Kook DDT-deniers die painful lingering deaths as a result of their misguided conservative beliefs", probably would. In fact, I'd not put in past the NYT to invent such a story.

It’s great to see that even some 45 years ago there were people bold enough to go against the liberal orthodoxy of that left-wing monster Rachel Carson ... We have a Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg, PA. I’ve begged our representatives to either tear it down or rename it. Nothing.

Rachel Carson was somebody who got her vindictive hour in the sun - and probably killed millions of people in Africa and other tropical locations while getting her glory.

She was never a particularly nice person, from what one reads, and never a great scientist, but she had cancer and wanted to blame someone or something for it. She was both ideologically motivated, being a leftist, and personally motivated, being a non-religious liberal confronting mortality. So what better than the eeevil chemical companies?

And if DDT was the best target, ok, who cares about those millions of Africans, Indians, etc. Margaret Sanger didn’t like them either.

Used to blueberry picking in the evening at the Jersey shore when I was a kid - all the time engulfed by clouds of DDT fog from the spray trucks.

Million must die to make liberals happy with them selves, it seems.

If you don’t have to worry about laying thin-shelled eggs, you’re golden. If you’re a bird, not so much.
