Actually, Doug, I agree with Rucklehaus's decision in this scenario. Given the circumstances in the United States - the total eradication of malaria - banning DDT usage in the United States was the correct decision. The problem is not that - the problem is functionally banning its usage in the Third World. There's no reason to use DDT in the US. There is a very immediate one to use it in much of the rest of the world. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
