I lived in a farming area much of my life. After seeing the tons
and tons of chemicals farmers used on their crops every year, I
fail to understand the fuss about home owners using a few pounds of
fertilizers and weed killers on their lawns two or three times a
year.


Lucky for you that you woren't the poor sot picking the crops.

I did my share of the work on my grandfathers farm when I was a young
boy, including helping to harvest the crops.

I have recently retired and my health is still excellent. My
grandfather was approaching 100 when he died and he was still planting
and harvesting crops the day he passes away. So, what's your point, if
you have one?

Did you and your grandpa dump tons and tons of chemicals on your crops
every year?

I said farmers, collective, not just one. Is that concept beyond you?


I guess you eat only organically grown food and have a bicycle to ride
on so you don't pollute the air.

You guess wrong.

Than you should be ashamed of yourself.

Yes, and your anecodetal evidence about living around a farm was really
convincing.

Do you mean "anecdotal" evidence?

Figures you and your ilk would have difficulties believing the truth. Must
have something to do with all those dangerous chemicals you don't use.

If that's what you think. Of course I have little reason to regard your

In your first paragraph you write the "EPA" ESTIMATES 1.1 Million pounds of
fertilizers and pesticides are DUMPED on our lawns annually. Right so far?
Then you instruct us to multiply that number by a few hundred or a THOUSAND
and the result will be in the Billions of pounds. Actually 1.1 Million
multiplied by your largest estimate of 1000 comes to just 1,100,000. Not
Billions as you state, but only 1.1 Billion. Sure as heck sounds like "FUZZY
MATH" to me, not to mention it being one hell of an exaggeration.

Ummm, 1,100,000 actually is equal to 1.1 million, and if you multiply
that by 1,000 you get 1,100,000,000 which is 1 billion 100 million.
You stated that 1,100,000 x 1,000 = 1,100,000.

Her math is not so fuzzy. I cannot vouch for the source of her
numbers.

I wrote it incorrectly, but did state it as 1.1 Billion.
Which makes her estimation of Billions incorrect and, in my opinion, to call
it "FAULTY MATH."

What's NEEDED on this newsgroup are answers to the questions that have been
asked instead of maniacal responses about the dangers of fertilizers and
chemicals. I think most adults on this newsgroup are aware that all
substances may be hazardous if used improperly. That includes the organic as
well as the inorganic ones.

Besides, I have not FLAMED anyone. I have only responded in kind to those
who have attacked me.

Reread the posts.
