To Kurtzman: I find your "ethical" concerns for denizens of the third-world a crock of s**t, since you do not even acknowledge the effects of DDT on human health. Did you know that one of the effects of DDT is breast cancer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT#Breast_cancer

Would you expose your infant daughter to DDT? If not, why would you advocate the same for African children? Also, your disdain for the bald eagles saved from extinction by the ban on DDT just goes to show your claims to be a "bleeding heart" another crock of you-know-what.

To Shprintzen: PETA is not an environmental group. They can be best described as publicity-seeking hounds who care more about taking pets away from disturbed pop stars than for the welfare of the environment or wildlife.

All in all, this post is so full of holes, anyone with half a brain can take it apart. But then, that's what most of the neo-con generated tripe is like.
