"Let's see, one dimensional, marginalizing and acrimonous, that'll do".

Oh, you mean like "Bye, bye birdies".

Yeah, advocates of DDT want it to be sprayed like Agent Orange and to become a mandatory food additive to baby milk powder. You don't ask what the latest research regarding DDT has found or what methods of DDT dispersion are being advocated or anything. No, just "Bye bye birdies". DDT has demonstrably saved millions of lives and its ban has meant a reversal in downward trend of malaria deaths over the past century and you respond "Bye bye birdies".

I don't think Mr Brosz' "one dimensional, marginalizing and acrimonous" characterization of your viewpoint is inaccurate. It's like the peace protesters and anti-war activists who chatted incessantly about how they opposed suffering of and aggression against Iraqi people, yet carried no signs critical of the UN sanctions or Saddam Hussein, just anti-Bush and anti-Israel ones. They say one thing, but their actions reveal their true beliefs.

Yes, you will *say* you also care about millions infected with and dying of malaria, yet your considered, informed response like your flippant "Bye bye birdies" reveals no open mind or real empathy for unnecessary human suffering and how *modern* and *limited* use of DDT based on the *latest* scientific findings could alleviate that, not selective use of 30- or 40-year-old skewed research to prove how "toxic" it is.
