Billy: National Pesticide Information Center did the study.




a short term study with rats isn't going to

reveal long term effects. some effects may not

appear for more years than you'll be alive.

who cleans it up if a mistake is made? all

those acres you spray stuff on, what happens

if it is shown to be contaminated and the

food you grow is no longer acceptable for

animal or human consumption?



do you think those companies that sell you

that stuff are going to have deep enough

pockets to make things right? to decontaminate

the soil? to pay for whatever healthcare you

and/or your decendants might need as a result?



what about people you might be poisoning

downwind? groundwater? or people who buy

your food? an insurance company can only

cover so much before they go under.





here is an example of what is actually going on:

a clear sign that poisons do not work

in a sustainable manner. this process has

been demonstrated over and over again in

many ways yet here we have yet another

poison and plants being modified so that

such poisons can be used to spray fields.



i'm really glad i'll have more poison

to breath in coming from the fields around

me, going into the water, etc.

I doubt that you and Billy will ever believe ANYTHING that ANY
Authority publishes.

The NPIC has issued some pretty good investigative studies on
a plethora of pesticides and I would not hesitate in trusting
their literature as a guide for usage.

They also know how to use "Capital Letters" when they begin
sentences.
