  • Gosh, Lee. Ever read that little book, 'Silent Spring', written by Rachel Carson in 1958? It may well have been the reason we STOPPED using DDT. Saying that using DDT in Africa would be helpful for mosquitoes and thereby, stop Malaria, is like saying shooting yourself from a cannon might get you to work quicker. DDT has been PROVEN to build up in the fatty tissue of creatures, including human beings, leading to cancers - breast, liver, pancreas, as well as cancer of the blood. Period.

  • @bboots100 Silent Spring was proven to be wrong, and Carson's ideas have killed millions of people.

  • How the world works is a genious, and a brave conservative who is not afraid to take on liberals. Subscribed, thumbs up, and faved.

  • "The total time to debunk the claims addressed in this video was approximately five times that in which it took for you to spew them." And it took HTWW a fraction of that time to annihilate the debunking.

  • @2eelShmeal a independant :)

  • @HowTheWorldWorks Lol yet no facts to back that up.

  • @ManOfDeath567 The sooner we understand that NO ONE fits completely in either category like neat little cookie-cutter people, the sooner we can stop feeling the need to LABEL ourselves.

    I am an atheist. I am for gay rights. I am for the second amendment. I am pro-choice but against late term. I hate big govt. I believe in tough foreign policy but not preemptive war. I am against govt healthcare. I am against redistribution of wealth, I believe in low taxes. I want the Fed abolished.

    What am I?

  • You are contending that because DDT has been banned from use, that millions have died from malaria. I would suggest many millions more would have died as the result of their exposure to DDT. We cannot arbitrarily spray chemicals into the world without understanding that some beneficial effect, may not be worth the permanent environmental impact. Carson proved that it be true of DDT. We should not use any product for it's short term effect, if the long term effect is bleak.

  • @daisymex that guy didn't debunk shit, I am not favoring anybody, just saying, this guys is wrong, Lee is right.

  • @weseyedwalk Quite. No offense taken. I might be doing that on another thread. I had to ask for clarification. :-P

  • @weseyedwalk . I don't have issues. Lee just acts like a know it all and it's annoying. The guy who debunked him is ok.
