I hear that the ghost of Franco has been visiting Spain.
Would you accept nuclear waste?
That or DDT, which is just as deadly according to progressives.
However, I’m old enough to have tried the old USGI test, actually paind no heed to DDT sprinkled on food. My granddad used it on his farm, used to buy it powdered in twenty-pound tins. I had a close relationship with DDT from around 5 until they went crazy and took it off the market.
