- Tichy 17y agoI don't think concern for mosquitos was the main reason for banning DDT.
- patio11 17y agoOf course not -- environmentalists don't value mosquitoes more than Africans. To say that would be a monstrous calumny. Environmentalists value birds over Africans.
- Tichy 17y agoI don't know the backgrounds, but I thought that essentially having DDT in the food chain is undesirable. Would you spray your backyard with DDT to save an African kid? Granted, if it was the only way, maybe, but overall I personally would rather not (then I would rather put up a tent for the African kid and relocate it to my DDT free backyard).
- Tichy 17y agoOK, now I have read most of the Wikipedia entry on DDT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT I have to say I am speechless by the stupidity of your comment.
