The Obama Administration should probably authorize government funding for a research study to find a safe-for-humans, chemical to prevent the “apocalyptic-loss” of human lives from disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Oh, wait, we already have a chemical like that—it’s called Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane; it's commonly known as DDT. Unfortunately, the EPA banned its use back in 1972, based on the book “Silent Spring.” Today this book is described as a “lyrical yet scientifically flawed book.”
John, “The truth will set you free.” Google: “DDT Studies” (wink)

The truth will set you free; meanwhile,the Reason Foundation and the Competitive Enterprise Institute will continue to be funded by "better living through chemicals" industries.
(wink wink, nudge nudge).

Well John, as you know, my "wagon was hitched to that guy" when he was at CNN, and more than ever since he joined FOX.
I'm getting a little "misty" just thinking about him.
