Ah, yet another pseudo environmentalist-wacko & Obammy-socialist
weights in.

If you're talking about the Rachel Carson quote, she was right. All
mature, educated people are fully aware of the truth of her statement
by now.

Sure, Carson was right about dangerous chemicals in the air. Since time
immemorial, all life has been subject to noxious things in the air: Sulfur
dioxide from volcanoes, extra fine dust from drought conditions, soot from
forest fires. All manner of nasty stuff. On these, Carson was irrefutably
correct.

On DDT, however, Carson was wrong. Criminally wrong. Each year over 800,000
people - mostly children - die from Malaria. Malaria is a disease we know
how to eradicate. We did it in North America. We did it in the Canal Zone.
We haven't done it in Africa because of Rachel Carson.

May her name be erased.
