<p>DDT is not widely used as pesticide, partly because it causes neurological problems in humans, partly because it kills much more than the pests (ie the bald eagle, birds, fishies), and partly because it is classified as probable caricinogen by the EPA. I don’t think the diminished usage of DDT is quite a tragedy.</p>

<p>I loved the SNL skit. Thanks, OP, for the link!</p>

<p>I guess that depends on where you live and whether you contract malaria.</p>

<p>I could post plenty of scholarship on the other side, but ultimately, no one will change minds, so why bother?</p>
<p>Ya, ya, ya…and global warming is just a liberal myth, there is no peak oil, and overpopulation isn’t a bit of a problem.</p>
<p>Just sprinkle a little DET on your salad. Not harmful stuff at all. It’s all Clinton’s fault.</p>
<p>I didn’t like Gore when he ran for president because It looked like he wasn’t being himself. I like him so much better now. I’d like to see him run in 2008.</p>
<p>John McCain, I have the opposite thinking. I used to like him, when he seemed to talk from the hip. Now he is going the packaged route. I’m not going to vote for him.</p>
<p>Agree on both counts.</p>
<p>i agree, dstark, on both points.</p>

<p>Who said any of those things? So much for courteous discourse.</p>
<p>There were allusions to all of the above on this or that thread.</p>
<p>My sarcasm, however, did get the best of me. My apologies if you were offended, Zoos.</p>
<p>“My sarcasm, however, did get the best of me. My apologies if you were offended, Zoos.”</p>
<p>No problem. Not really offended, just tired of the unnecessary sarcasm whenever politics is discussed.</p>
<p>Without sarcasm or humor, one could just weep when thinking or talking about politics or world affairs. </p>
<p>Sarcasm is actually the healthier response!</p>

<p>My son interned with Participant Productions (<a href=“http://participantproductions.com/[/url]”>http://participantproductions.com/</a>) this semester, the producers of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. He’s going to work the LA Premiere of the movie tonight, to be held at the Director’s Guild, on Sunset Blvd as a ticket runner (whatever that might be).</p>
<p>I was just thinking this morning that it would have been great if Gore, not Bush, had been elected. Enjoyed the video.</p>
<p>Gore was elected, and would have been inaugurated if the SC hadn’t stopped the count. Reporters obtained the ballots later, under the Freedom of Information Act, and it was reported late in 2001 that Gore had actually won Florida. The margin would have been huge if the overvotes had been counted. Gore won those by a margin of 30,000.</p>

<p>“A comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida
ballots from last year’s presidential election
reveals that George W. Bush would have won even
if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the
statewide manual recount of the votes that the
Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward.”
