Political Radicals + Environmental Regulations=Lost Jobs
by Capitol ConfidentialWhat do you get when you combine: 1) a political radical who has been arrested and charged with conspiracy after causing civil disruptions including riots and 2) bureaucratic agencies in California with a record of environmental extremism that are focused on putting in place regulations on businesses that far exceed those set by the federal government?
The answer is massive job loss and industry displacement that satisfies ideologues on the far left and hurts both Americans and the economy.
And that’s exactly what California is confronting concerning the Scientific Review Committee (SRC), which was appointed by the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to focus on reviewing new pesticides, which also happens to have significant overlap with the Scientific Review Panel (SRP), which is charged with evaluating the risk assessments of substances proposed for identification as toxic air contaminants by the Air Resources Board (ARB), the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the DPR.
You got that? And folks wonder why there is uncertainly in the marketplace and businesses are packing up and heading overseas due to the weight of government.
In California, the SRC is now focused on overturning the state’s decision to approve a new chemical called methyl iodide, which is harmless and does not pose a threat when deployed correctly.
Long story short, methyl iodide is used as a soil disinfectant, and naturally emitted by rice plantations.
The decision to not use methyl iodide seriously threatens a $2 billion dollar a year strawberry industry that employs over 10,000 people alone in California.
The kicker is that the regulations California wants to impose concerning methyl iodide far exceed regulations set by the federal government even after the director of Department of Pesticide Regulation said methyl iodide could be used safely with precautions like respirators, impermeable tarps and extra restrictions on use around schools, businesses and homes.
And the individuals who would bear the burden of these new regulations should they be put in place are family farmers who would be forced to permanently transfer their operations to Mexico and shut down altogether, which wouldn’t be a good thing for California’s economy that is already in free fall.
And that’s where the radical with a history of inciting political unrest comes into the picture.
You see, all one has to do is conduct a quick search of the names of the individuals making up the Scientific Review Committee and Scientific Review Panel and they come across John Froines.
So, who is Mr. Froines?
John Froines is a former member of the “Chicago 7.” Along with his group, Froines disrupted the 1968 Democratic National Convention and was charged with conspiracy for allegedly starting the riots that took place. After his acquittal, Froines gave up his academic career writing, “this resignation is an ultimatum: end this monster or we shall walk over you.”
He decided to dedicate his time to revolutionary causes including “link[ing] up with the Black Panther Party … to build a revolutionary movement to end American imperialism.”
But Froines’ best hits don’t stop there…
Froines protested the Vietnam War aligning himself with those “who will be part of the anti-imperialist struggle” comparing the government and corporations to Nazis.
And Froines later found himself – once again – running afoul of the law. He was arrested in March 1971, while marching on Washington and participating in protests that included dangerous acts of vandalism like cutting the fuel lines on buses. And Froines wasn’t just an average Joe civilly expressing his dissatisfaction with government. In fact, authorities allege that Froines was responsible for the disruptions in Washington, organized and planned the protests, including picking “targets for disruption.”
And recently Froines continued to promote his radical views and associate with extremists joining other former “Chicago 7” members – including Black Panther founder Bobby Seale – in 1996 at a reunion in Chicago.
Froines has not taken even one step back from promoting his leftist agenda and controversial past saying, “what happened [in Chicago 1968] had to happen.”
Today, the political extremist with violent tendencies and a penchant for embracing radical orthodoxy is making decisions that affect businesses, which he previously compared to Nazis. Froines’ perch allows him to argue what companies can and cannot do concerning the usage of pesticides in California irrespective if the federal government has already found them to be safe when used appropriately.
The case of John Froines and the Scientific Review Committee and Scientific Review Panel is a case study in how government has a stranglehold on job creation. People like Froines – who are better suited for a jail cell than a government agency – are making decisions that negatively impact all of us by driving business out of the country and impeding any economic recovery both in America and California, which is currently drowning in debt and on the brink of bankruptcy.

California's budget problems may also be a reflection of the fact that it apparently needs a Scientific Review Committee, a Department of Pesticide Regulation, a Scientific Review Panel, an Air Resources Board, and an Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to determine how to regulate a pesticide.
Riddle me this, why are there so many government agencies dealing with the same thing?
Holy testicle tuesday Batman.
I'm not interested in who gets to flip the levers of power, I'm interested in the machine that runs itself and needs no specialist to flip levers for our benefit for therein lies our doom. Lovellian economics opens this door to a future without political masters who can play us off against each other and rule us for their profit and amusement. I would leave them to flip the levers on a dead machine. That's my plan, what's yours?
Somewhat off topic, but on a somewhat related note…
Electricity blackouts are increasing in the United States.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/08/09/sma...
If the EnviroNuts have their way, blackouts will be the norm — as in any given Third World country.
Someone, please clear this up for me; tree huggers and other 'revolutionary' types seem unimpacted by the financial upheaval the country is now experiencing. Why?(Yes, my commie friends, I am baiting). These fringe elements, their supporters (inside and outside of politics) appear to have all the funds needed to spread their Joyous, "the sky is falling", tripe. Can we not find someone who is capable of following the money, and lead us to the head of this snake!
This snake has many heads. George Soros and Maurice Strong are but two of them…..
SOROS
The bonus for them being, it will shut down that darn internet……
A very effective insecticide that was banned due to misuse by farmers is DDT, and the WHO wishes to use it again to control mosquitoes in malaria infested areas. After doing a google on methyl iodide, I'm more inclined to accept DDT rather than methyl iodide. Not so sure about DDT's effectiveness as a soil disinfectant but I do know it kills bugs.
Soros….freakin Hungarian is linked to Rothschild clan
Looking at this guy's resume I would think he is in line for a Czar spot on the WH list.
But on a serious note,,,the EPA has run wild and shows no sign of relenting. Without the draconian Crap and Trade bill, Obama and the EPA will enact by way of Executive Order the same business/economy killing policies without congressional oversight, and against the will of the people. Short of finding some way to get rid of this Agency we need congress to mandate that any and all actions or proposals made by this agency perform an "ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS" before any action is taken.
How many people died in the Three Mile Island accident?
ZERO! Yet France uses nuclear power and we don't mostly. GENIUS GREENPEACE. PURE GENIUS you friggin idiots.
Holy maniacal Monday Batman, government incursion into commerce to gain graft while declaring a nobel cause, think of the children!
A crisis is upon us
And enigmatic leader will lead us.
We must give up all our rights and property to fight this crisis.
You'd think the so called intellectual elite would catch onto this by now… its thew definition of Fascism.
more people died in the back seat of Teddy Kennedy's car than in nuclear power accidents in the USA.
I feel ya!! Conservative must, i say again, must take to the streets just as aggressively as the progressives !!
AHHH, yes I had forgotten about that. Good point. Thanks.
- A surge in electrical balackouts
- Government owned and operated car companies making socially engineered cars
- Union thugs intimidating corporate managment and voters
- An unbridled ruling class
This all reminds me of a book I read where a man named John Galt shut down the motor of the world.
Manji88 that is because we in CA are too stupid to know anything on our own. If ONLY the people in CA would wake up and realize just how cancerous the CA Legislature has become. I've only been here two years and I can see it. Dept of Pesticide give me a freakin break and the Health Hazard thing, that's all those warnings on the buildings saying the contents could cause cancer. If we cleaned house California could prosper again. what a shame and a sham. Oh don't get me started.
Liar! Denier! Traitor! George Bush!
Everyone KNOWS that DDT killed bald eagle eggs, forced the earth's gravitational fields to reverse, created moonspots and caused malaria…
That scam always pisses me off because so many people in Africa die because they don't have an insecticide that is cheap and effective to eliminate malarial swamps and infestations. Thanks for nothing liberals! Once again the Law of Unintended Consequences poops in the regulatory stew.
I have prepared economic impact analyses and can tell you they can rig them from the git-go. It's a scam they use to just provide more cover for doing dastardly things.
Actually, substitute "money" for "children". It just means that much more green the govt can rip from the taxpayers' hands.
SPEAKING OF WHICH…..LOOK AT WHAT JUST POPPED INTO SOME AIRHEAD SENATOR'S HEAD, PUT THERE BY A MONSANTO EXECUTIVE WHO HOPES TO BE APPOINTED TO THE FDA!
====================================================================
S510
According to Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower:
"If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God." It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food." ~
Michael Taylor, Monsanto, who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create without judicial review if it passes.

And http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/s-510... – more info in comments – many do not believe the bill does what is in the above article
Bill is here:
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 S510
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s11...
The Food Safety Modernization Act (S 510) is now not expected to be taken up before the Senate leaves for summer recess at the end of next week, though it may come to the floor in September. Whether the Senate takes up the child nutrition reauthorization bill next week is still an open question.
Amendments proposed or already included in the bill:

They must bring America down, so they can create their Utopian Society. Never mind that everyone will lose all freedoms as Americans. The Liberals are helping build the very mouse trap that will kill them right along with everyone else. I'm sure they'll be screaming "Yes we can!"
The goal is and always has been to attack the levels of wealth embodied in capitalism because of the false premise that the power capitalism affords to individuals allows them to inflict harm on weaker people and the environment. The message seems to be: capitalism unleashes all that is bad in people so we must take their power lest they hurt others. Such a small view of western humanity and its natural potential for good (as opposed to its regulated potential).
Its unfortunate that she is handing the election to Jerry Brown. You will wish for the good old days of Schwarzenegger if he wins the election. Its a lose lose situation for this state.
DDT regulation, banning, has led to the deaths of about 35 million Africans, most of which are children under the age of 5, due to malaria. And the scientific basis for banning DDT, none, zero, nada. Rachael Carson was a total fraud, as was her stupid book Silent Spring. Even Standford University researchers found no truth to support the DDT ban. So finally in 2006 WHO allowed limited use, yes only limited use.
Word to the wise, liberals use lies to further their agendas. You would think Obama would be sensitive to the black malaria plight in Africa, but no he is not.
crap and tax, card check, osamabama HELLSCARE, tax on breathing, HOPE we CHANGE presidunces this week…
Lets not forget Bill Gates. His money is funding a lot of these things PLUS an "open borders" policy. He's so tight with the radicals, that I'm beginning to wonder why he's even living in his 80,000 sq ft mansion. Oh right,
he's a hyprocrite and the "power" has permeated his brain cells.
To think, we are all supporting him by using our computers.
California will have to be restructured for sure, but, that is what happens when there is more money going out than coming in.
There may be riots when those who lived off the largess of the American Taxpayer are cut off, and find themselves with no skills combined with no income, but, that is just the way it goes.
Isn't it amazing the insight Ayn Rand had?
how else can they pay for Michelle's holiday in the sun, her friend is grieving for a loss, we all grieve differently, and she needs to get away from all that ignoring injustice while promoting hate of the obese.
They are on the fast track to Progressive suicide or "Death By Legislation". I remember Moon Beam spraying for the "Med Fly" I had a "Gas Jerry Brown" & "Death Before DISCO" t-shirt.
Even the prime instigator of the nuclear protests in the 1970s laments that it was a huge mistake to abandon nuclear power and stick with fossil fuels.
These self righteous pricks are always so smart and enlightened until they realize that what everybody was telling them was true all along.
Holy Hallucinations Batman Jerry Brown is running for Govenor! or is it Deja Vu. Stay tuned old chum big doings come Nov.
Yeah, that's creepy stuff alright – ominous in fact. The codex alimentarius is a weaponized forced famine machine waiting to happen.
One example: Forced to buy genetically altered Monsanto seeds that are only good for one season so you have to buy a new allocation of seeds from them every year? WTF? What if they don't like you or they run out?
.
I've been reading about this for over two years and in the beginning it sounded like a good conspiracy theory. Now it's only fact. Monsanto has been altering crop seeds for a long time now and they started the experiments in Indonesia and India. I swear, those who can afford the land to grow their own food better do it.
The frickin NWO assholes will be poisoning all of us. This is nothing other than stealth eugenics.
What if there was another way? What if we could put an end to fiat currency and ex nihilo currency inflation forever? What if there was a self-regulating means of creating new currency that was solely predicated upon the creation of new wealth in the economy? What if we could create a new basis for supporting the value of our currency with a readily convertible security that automatically adjusted for inflation so that the purchasing power parity of the dollar was always protected? What would you say then?
Lost jobs?
With the recent Court ruling last week in Kalifornia by the activist Judge, I'm thinking about starting a new career.
I'm thinking about getting out of the ranching business, and the energy business, and starting afresh. Gonna move to Kaliforniyeah! Become a Gay Wedding Planner. I hear there is gonna be a lot of work in that field. Call it Straight Eye, for The Queer Guy……….
When Obama looks in the mirror he only sees a tan muslim arab. He has no empathy for blacks, which leads me to the question: how does michelle put up with this knowing his dark secrets?
Codex Alimentarious = a UN program that went into effect here which will control and regulate all food and food production, even family gardens, "for our own good"
The government should never be in control of food because it can be weaponized.
Government is also making big moves to control all water in the USA — including control of all your land because they are claiming that when it rains the water runs downhill across it to the watersheds. I wish I was making it up.
.
well don't start calling me racist…people dying in africa from malaria or a fundimentalists bullet the world doesn't give a fuzzy rats rump…just keep the diamonds and gold coming…DDT worked and was cheap, wheres the good in that??? hello we're from the gubmint…we're here to help…………ruin everfugginthing…make the world beautiful…eliminate a liberal….with great vigor!!!
We do not have to wait for the "big one" to sink California, they are doing it themselves long before Mother Nature would. The trouble is they are taking the rest of the US down with them.
gwa,
I can't read that stupid bill from the link. It's so convoluted it would take a lawyer to figure out what it specifically does, let alone attempt to play out what it could potentially, even unintentionally do.
I was a big believer in Monsanto back in the early 90's…hoping their GM grains might be the solution to world famine. And like the Human Genome Project the idea was well intentioned but we're just not there technologically.
We thought it was all about the genes. It's not. It's about the micro proteins each cascade of "commands" causes the gene to release. That is quite literally the difference between life and death.
It's also why smart biotech money now is on proteomics, not genetics.
Found this for folks who don't know about this codex crap.
==========================================================
America is scheduled to become compliant to Codex Alimentarius (CA) as of December 31, 2009. Codex Alimentarius is going to regulate virtually anything that you put into your mouth that is not a pharmaceutical. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has accepted Codex Alimentarius and any nation that is a member of the WTO must become compliant with CA. In any dispute between 2 countries, the one that is Codex compliant automatically wins. This is quite an incentive for all nations to become compliant. – Rima Laibow
CA guidelines set for vitamins & minerals are said to be voluntary, however, they are scheduled to become mandatory on December 31, 2009. In 1994, Codex Alimentarius declared nutrients to be poisons: See the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). Yet fluoride is acceptable! This is a dasterdly evil plan yet not a word from anyone except Dr. Rima Laibow. I am just wondering -why in the world has virtually no one spoken out against this
Agriculture seeds around the world have been genetically modified by monopolizing the seed and agri-business realm by Monsanto and Pioneer Hi-bred funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and numerous others…………while all the heirloom seed strains known to man have been scooped up and put into a Doomsday Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway.
===================================================
This sounds SOOOOO TOTALLY OUT THERE. What do we really know about this and can anyone verify anything about it? Obviously it's past 2009. Did they in fact sign on to this program? Or did Obama like with AGW peter out at the last minute? Probably good info to have.
Again…..we got many fish to fry, no time for "Red Herrings."
Please don't make me more depressed than I am already about this once great state. I'm tired of people, even at these sites, slamming CA . They forget that there are some of us "good guys" out here; though apparently not enough of us to vote the right way!
I don't know about that. Sometimes it is better to have the enemy wear their colors, rather than camouflage themselves and pretend their support while actually undermining efforts for change. No sitting governor comes to mind, of course….
Yes, Ayn Rand had amazing insite. When I first read "Atlas Shrugged" about 15 years ago I could not fathom the United States devolving into the state described in her book. Now, I fear we cannot aviod it.
AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMIN……VERIFY THIS ONE WITH YOUR LOCAL UTILITY COMPANIES AND IF YOU'RE "SMART" YOU WILL DEMAND THEY SIGN A GUARANTEE THESE METERS DO NOT EMIT SQUAT. EVER.
====================================================
Transmitting Smart Meters Pose A Threat To Public Health
Transmitting smart meters are being installed nationwide on gas, water, and electrical services, driven in part by funding for the Smart Grid Program approved as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This is of concern because the exposure to microwave and radiowave radiation from these meters is involuntary and continuous.

Take Action! FCC and FDA joint hearing on "Regulatory Issues Arising from Health Care Devices that Incorporate Radio Technology Wireless Communications Networks"
The FCC and FDA will not stop installation of transmitting utility meters, approval of new wireless technology, or sale of additional spectrum unless they hear from many many people who are having health problems related to wireless technology.
File a comment for the FCC and FDA joint hearing on "Regulatory Issues Arising from Health Care Devices that Incorporate Radio Technology Wireless Communications Networks" by August 16, 2010. This is of the utmost importance. More information and directions available on the FCC and FDA joint hearing page. Please see Transmitting Smart Meters Page for more information about the health risks posed by transmitting utility meters and wireless technology.
Yes, this IS really creepy stuff. Monsanto sues farmers that don't follow the rules and guess who wins?! We have NO idea what these GM crops will do to people years down the line. Just read where some GM crops had escaped their boundary somewhere in the midwest and were growing where they weren't supposed to be. I agree with copperpeony!
Good Lord! We have to worry about GM crops, the NWO, Sharia law coming….. Time to escape, but where?!
I'm not trying to depress you, I know how you feel though. We are under much more stress in this state. We not only see our state being destroyed, but our country as well. I just pray its not too late for either.
Your probably right, and I don't think the people of California will take another Schwarzenegger or Brown or Davis. We know how to recall a governor.
I got an even better idea Cowboy,,,,,gay marriage counseling!!! I can see the fights over who gets custody of the pet gerbils.
Thank you!
I have been here long enough, words do not bother me, nor can I be insulted. Ever.
Belize. Hand's down.
If growers/producers go on strike for a year or two nation wide maybe we would see some of these people strung up by the starving masses and actually get rid of some of these lunitics. Remember the farmers dumping their tanker trucks full of milk in the 70's, or waiting for gas in line for an hour or two only to get to the pump and have the station close because they had run out again. This was caused by Jimmy Carters failed policys and opecs embargo. Guess what ? Obama's worse and the EPA is eco-unfriendly to the existance and sustenance of humans. Seems like a lot these eco-nuts come from California the land of fruits and nuts, where they cut off water for farming for some stupid fish.
PS Just read Michael Walsh's article on Big Journalism – about CA. Good analysis, but sooo sad to see what has happened.
This frikkin' thing was originally pushed by , none other than the Rino-in-Chief, John McCain. This was at the end of 2009, I think, maybe later. I raised holy hell with my House Rep and Senators. My Rep (a physician) and Sen Cornyn don't like it. Got a BS reply from Hutchison, no surprise. She sucks up to McCain. OOOf…..bad visual.
They put it on hold and are now trying to revive it. Sneaky b@@stards.
Contact your Representatives….they need constant reminders!
70's, 80's, 90's = Ford Foundation among other charitable foundations hijacked by Radicals.
2000's = Soros, Bill Gates, Bloomberg, among other wealthy members of the top 1 percent contribute to radical causes.
The EPA is an organization that has survived beyond its time. It needs to be reorganized with real scientists and techs. BTW, it's rewriting the CO2 cap and trade laws outside the congress.
The California Public Employee Retirement System will eventually have to be bailed out like the auto industry. There is no money left to pay this. I pray that the rest of America won't allow it, because it would just be a band aid until the money runs out. State like California will have to be allowed to go bankrupt, break the unions and start over. Its the only hope left. These unions create nothing, they only take, at least the car companies manufacture a product, unions produce nothing.
True. California is like a beautiful home, once carefully cared for but now with a pest infestation. Public unions, radical environmentalists, and garden variety leftists are the pests.
It is time to tent the house and fumigate.
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

We are truly witnessing the failed polices of the past. Can you say Jimmy Carter on steroids?
Don't forget the millions going to high speed rail… oh wait they don't have high speed rail.
I do believe the State of Washington or maybe just a jurisdiction in that state,…..
has just adopted INTO LAW the brand spanking new code.
The Green Code.
wait till you see what this code will do to the housing industry.
Oh great! They just installed them in our area. The warnings must have been kept under wraps cause we never heard a word about that! It's a sneaky way to know what our energy usage is at any hour, and charge more for energy used at certain peak hours.
Illinois isn't much better in the Senate race. Do you vote for Obama's basketball buddy or a RINO?
It does make you wonder if Ayn Rand knew that "Atlas Shrugged" would turn into a history book.
Meg Whitman is PRO AMNESTY! and pro Obama Care for Illegals! She's a classic RINO! It's a lose lose situation in California!
They're well aware. All dictators know that the little people don't want their policies. They just steamroll over U.S. anyway! We need to slap Obama with every law suit, and ammendment, and State's Litigation that our Attorney's General can showcase to bring this Socialist Regime to it's knees!
Cloward/Piven/Alinsky. Thanks—–we get it.
Now what's are strategy?
Why don't the big-mouth Hollywood Billionaires bail out California. They kiss the feet of every Dem, Progressive, Socialist, & obama that they can get hold of. Aren't the Hollywood socialists the ones who run all of the $50,000 dollar a plate Obama Fund Raiser's? Where are they now? that Cal is on Welfare itself due to Obama's Socialist Policies?!
Let's see, maybe Cal would rather ring Tax Payer money out of the last few LEGAL AMERICANS that actually work in that pathetic State! instead of getting the Judgemental Hollywood show-offs to PAY UP!
America pays for your pathetic excuse for movies, so why don't you you fund your State that you've allowed to be over-run with ILLEGALS! How's that policy of NOT enforcing our "Fed Immigration Law" working out for you, huh? California?
and you want to allow Obama's open Borders to continue? Aren't you the Poster Child for not having Democrat socialist party in elected office in America? Look at you, compared to Texas, which has no Income Tax and tons of money in their Fed Govt!!!!! Conservatives Win!
If it came between anyone that knows Obama or the RINO, it has to be the RINO.
How about Brokeback Saddlery.
Place the horn in the middle of the saddle.
Thats pretty funny.
That's right… hold your nose and vote for the RINO.
Lookie what I found studying up for the opening of the CBOt manana…….
go to agriculture . com and read the Monsanto piece, haven't checked farmfutures
may have one too.
.
In California, the State pays "Interveners"as much as $600/hr to be environmental obstructionists on behalf of the red legged frog and the delta smelt. These greengenics advocates do not care one bit about the health and safety of Humans, only their rights to make a paycheck standing in the way of progress paid for by tax dollars.
Anyone who would advocate the rights of Animals over the health, safety and survival of humans, I have one thing to say to you…Save the World, Kill Yourself"
I was just appoint to the New Czar position as Director of the department of redundancy department'
Much like the team gathered here to work these blogs and bash the republicans. I to have a newly designated position…It has become my new mission to explain that the republicans and democrats can both be bought for $93,000 and a new car which is exactly the pre earmark price paid to every member of congress to pass the Stimulus package and later the Health care Fiasco. The best part of this new government job is that I already make more money than anyone in the private sector and no one ever talks about performance.
I can retire after only one term with full benefits! Problem is our retirement pension cannot be full funded unless we "Borrow" from the social security fund!
Anyone still on board to oppose any new bankrupting government programs gets my Vote Democratic, Republican , or Mugwump!
Call it perverse, but I'm happy to see these commies coming out of the closet where we can get a good look at them. They've been like termites for decades, gnawing away at the substance of the republic. With a fellow traveler in the WH the feel safe to come out. Big mistake! Did you forget your Alinsky? Targets??
I've got a metaphorical insecticide for them and I'm going to start spraying on November 2nd!
DDT is cheap — now — but it is also largely ineffective against malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Rachel Carson was right.
By the way, had we listened to Rachel Carson about DDT in 1962, we might have been able to save DDT as an effective pesticide to fight malaria (it was overused on crops in Africa, as well as the U.S.).
I won't call you racist, if you'll pull back from your silly position that all we have to do to save Africans is poison them. That doesn't make sense, and the science clearly demonstrates it won't work.
Fight malaria, not environmentalists. It will save more African kids.
You forgot to note that Goines was acquitted of the charges from the 1968 Democratic Convention. The official investigation found it was the police who rioted, not the protesters.
Funny how you support government thugs then, but you don't support government once we get the thugs out.
You should probably read this, from Dr. Amber Wise, a postdoctoral fellow at the Program for Reproductive Health and the Environment at UC-San Francisco:
It has been, and continues to be, their sworn duty to collapse the economy and turn us into serfs, working for them on their estates. We the People MUST throw them ALL out or we will be ground into the dust, never to arise again.
Actually, it was overused by the farmers, not the professional aerial or ground applicators.
Republican in the White House + Republican controlled congress= Crash and burn economy.
Republicans are great stewarts of thr economy. Just read this and you can see how tax cuts worked for the american economy under republican policy :http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-jobs-lost-in-the-bush-and-obama-administration-2010-2
What is a "stewart of thr economy?"
BTW, under the Bush tax cuts, the share of taxes paid by the rich actually increased while the share paid by the lowest income earners actually decreased.
http://www.american.com/archive/2007/november-dec...
Democrats have had complete control of Congress since January 2007. That's the last 3 1/2 years.
With their total control, haven't they done a GREAT job with the economy, immigration, race relations, jobs, the deficit, etc.?
And you can't blame Presidential vetoes for Democrat failures – Bush vetoed fewer bills than any President since Millard Fillmore.
You're correct in one area..Democrats had controll on congress for 3 1/2 years but your brain drew a blank for tweo of those 3 1/2 Bush held the VETO PEN!!!!
I think Barry HAS been heard to say, as he rapes the nation, "It's a Wonderful Life" so maybe you're right.
Bush spent a lot on social issues just like a Democrat.
For example, he increased federal spending on education by 70% and he implemented Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind Act.
Even though Bush spent too much on social issues, we have to remember that Democrats always wanted to spend more.
Bush was your guy. Never forget it!!! All he had to do was VETO the bill!!! That's how he controlled the democratic congress. Don't let your "Right" leanings freeze your brain.
A President can't force Congress to pass decent legislation.
The 110th Congress played anti-Bush and refused to address key issues, prefering to tank the economy and the country so they could "save it from evil capitalists" when they could elect a communist as President to take over in 2009.
You really are hooked on the libunatic Kool-Aid.
Meanwhile, I can be the new Presidential hopeful from the Mugwump Party! Vote for me and I will set you free! Free to work for the Unions or the Federal government because I will send all of the "RICH WHITE MEN PACKING" and with them will go the jobs that free enterprise would inspire! Then you can Re-establish Idi Amine as your inspirational host or Che Guevara, or Pol Phot or Mau Tse Tongue or Osama Bin Laden or Obama Bin Lyin or anyone else that would create an ideological majority through attrition and confiscation!
Do we still believe the rights of free men to be productive through free enterprise, is more important than the infringement of a totalitarian government to take away those rights for the benefit of a global economy?
I pray to God there are still enough of us who still think so to change the election results!
