DEBUNKING MOTH MYTHS - UC Scientists Speak Out

According to two UC scientists, not only can the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) not be 'eradicated' by the forced aerial pesticide spraying of the San Francisco Bay Area planned for this summer by a state agency, but it poses no real threat to agriculture in the first place.

UC Davis Entomologist Dr. James Carey and UC Santa Cruz Arboretum Executive Director Dr. Daniel Harder present the results of their research at the March 13, 2008 informational hearing held in San Rafael by State Senator Joe Simitian, Chair of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee.

Dr. Harder's report on his recent trip to New Zealand, where the LBAM is "...effectively controlled almost exclusively by natural predators in both agricultural settings and wild lands," is available on-line at:

Chemical companies just want to sell product. They don't give an "F" if it kills people. Arnold doesn't care if it kills people as long as he pays back his friends that have given him money.

Arnold loves to spray people as he allows the spraying of chemtrails over every inch of California everyday.

When are some real men going to stand up and start shooting these criminals who are killing us? PEOPLE, THE BAD GUYS ARE WINNING! WE SHOULD PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THESE NWO A-HOLES! THEY ARE POINTING AND LAUGHING AT US AND PADDING THEIR POCKETS WITH THE PROFITS OF THEIR POISONING OUR KIDS!!!! ARE WE DYING SO THEIR ILLEGITIMATE GAY STEP NEPHEWS CAN KEEP PLAYING TENNIS WITH LANCE AND BRAD ON PRIVATE COURTS? PESTICIDES CAUSE GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM WHICH JUSTIFIES LEGAL USE OF DEADLY FORCE.

I could not agree more! We are just about one, and religion is really classing people and fucking with their heads. It's the same bullshit, the same red line but in a different pakkage. But the problem is that many religious people just have a lack of logica and open-mindness when it comes down to (their) religion
