Read the links I posted. DDT had nothing to do with harming birds, thinning egg shells, liver cancer in fish or any of the other horrors the MSM and watermellons have been feeding you all of you life. That scientific information exonorating DDT was available in 1962 when Carson wrote Silent Spring, but she completly distorted the research.

Keep in mind that the driving force in the EPA ban in 1972 was not science or the environment. William Ruckelshouse, the EPA Administrator, completly ignored all the recomendations of his own staff scientists when he banned DDT. It was the "Population Bomb" crap that the radicals were pushing and DDT became public enemy #1 because it was effective in stopping malaria and saving millions of lives in tropical (i.e. non-white) countries.
