What Will The UN Say?


U.S. government officials are enthusiastically endorsing and funding the use of DDT in sub-Saharan Africa after years of resisting calls from scientists who said the insecticide would be the best weapon for fighting malaria...., U.S. takes new view on DDT in Africa, Joyce Howard Price, The Washington Times

That's a real downer for the Sierra Club. And what will PETA say? Will they have a new initiative, starting fires in California to save tsetse flies in Africa? What next, development of oil reserves in Alaska?

They won't like it. You've got to understand that to the folks with an anti-human agenda, the life of a human being is no more valuable than the life of a mosquito. So killing off mosquitoes to save humans is, to them, hubris. It's funny that you don't see them sacrificing their flesh to save mosquitoes very often.

I understand all too well. I know their predecessors, their "tradition," and their unrelieved cynicism and malice.

Right you are, guys. These extremist enviro-dudes are sort of like the Lost Boys in Peter Pan, except that, unlike Peter, they are the spawn of Hell. Before they fling another accusation at W about "genocide" in other contexts, I wonder how many lives were sacrificed to nurture this cruel DDT hoax over, what, the last 40 years or so. We'll never know.

Actually, we do know, Wonk. It's close to 30 million.
