Well - It is only recently that the notion that DDT was in fact useful in fighting Malaria has come into the public consciousness. When it was initially discovered that DDT was thinning the eggs of birds and rapidly killing off raptors there was a reaction to pesticide. At the time, it was thougth that we could replace DDT with less toxic agents. Over the years we have become sadly wiser. But old habits and ideas die hard. But die they do. Bottom line, you denegate "rich white liberals" for no particular reason other than to create your usual demons. By the way, Pedro looked good in his first start for the mets. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
