OT: DiHydrogen monoxide petition drive

Yes, the Hollywood elites are now running a fight Malaria campaign, of course with no mention of the fact that DDT was working quite well at slowing down Malaria until until it was banned by thier ilk. I think the whole world is going British on us with all this PC/GW/thought- police crap.

It's also lousy with Hydrogen-Hydroxide, the single most dangerous chemical in the universe.

No, ONE is too many.

Huh? DDT is not toxic to humans, certainly not fatal.

I recall when the ban went into effect. There was a couple in California (where else) that were EATING a spoonful of DDT each day.

Maybe they died. Or ran out of DDT. I never saw a follow-up story.

Actually we love to laugh:

The enormously popular right wing talk shows are all about complaining. Listen to the callers. Right wing idols are all complainers and/or cryers. Very thin skinned ones at that. Left wing political entertainment is all humor.

Seems to me the righties are a pretty humorless bunch. I mean look at what you find funny? You guys take yourself way too seriously.

Bah! Note the weasel-words in your citation: "*POTENTIAL* mechanisms of action on humans are genotoxicity and endocrine disruption. DDT *MAY* be directly genotoxic, but *MAY* also induce enzymes to produce other genotoxic intermediates and DNA adducts.

These reports are even more weasely than the global warming missives.
