Reminds me of the newly formed environmental groups of the late 50′s and early 60′s, who succeeded in getting DDT banned. They were so concerned about “the children” that they couldn’t see beyond their noses.

Our servicemen during WWII in the jungles of the South Pacific covered themselves with DDT to prevent almost certain death from malaria, saving tens of thousands of lives.

And how many hundreds of millions of people have died in the 50+ years since DDT was banned, many of them children in jungles around the world? It’s no wonder that the world community in 2006 has put DDT back where it belongs in the malaria-fighting arsenal.

If these environmental groups were so concerned with “the children”, why did they commit so many of them to such a cruel death?
