The mentality of the Environment-Worshippers:
The spraying of any pesticides — let alone DDT — has been greeted by near-hysterical resistance from environmental activists, who have attacked the killing of mosquitoes as "disrupting the food chain." New York's Green-party literature declares that "These diseases only kill the old and people whose health is already poor."
...Since the banning of DDT, insect-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue — and now West Nile virus — have been on the rise. The World Health Organization estimates that malaria kills about a million people annually, and that there are between 300 million and 500 million new cases each year.
In Congressional testimony about the ban of DDT, another Gaia-Worshipper stated that the increase in malaria resulting from such a ban would 'only kill brown people' [in Southeast Asia.]
You don't have to be a genius to understand that SOME people in other parts of the world are not pleased with all the decisions made by the US Congress.

As a State Committee member of the Green Party of NYS, I am quite familiar with the literature of the Party. I am quite sure that no literature of the Party contains the line "These diseases only kill the old and people whose health is already poor." Neither is this an official position of the Party.
ReplyDeleteThere could be other groups describing themselves as Green or Greens that have literature this appears in.

Sorry, Roger---
ReplyDeleteYou get no sympathy from me. I've done my homework. The Greens in Germany are a menace, and although the Greens in this country haven't been violent, they've destroyed plenty.
Take up your complaint with NRO.
Frankly I believe them, not you.
Bye!
