You are an idiot jrobrien. DDT causes fetal deformities and is a poison to all life. It is not a miracle cure for malaria. Go have fun spraying DDT all over your home garden. Make sure to feed yourself and family all your delicious food.

McDonough has a wonderful mind...it's just too bad he's so damn arrogant.

If his ideas are solid, is it really such a problem that he's arrogant? It's his arrogance that helps him ensure his voice is heard, and I'm quite happy that his voice is heard. Arrogance is a quality you don't want to see in diplomats and roommates.

Well, it's hard to get the right people to want to invest in your vision if you have a personality that rubs them the wrong way.

DDT is still used to fight malaria. It is not used where mosquitos have developed resistance to it.
