It seems to me this string is a national political debate and not a Lincoln-specific topic. A town message forum focused on hyper-local issues does not seem like the right place for this type of back and forth. Hopefully this thread can end and this discussion can be shifted elsewhere.

Alice - at the risk of opening up a Lincoln Talk can of worms, can I just put in a plea to not encourage the use of roundup or any other systemic weed killer. Herbicides are carcinogens and are toxic to amphibians and fish. There is a reason it is now banned in France - not a country always at
