maybe even me.
I want to get linux on my M200 tablet. I haven’t posted in here since the day before I received it, amazingly. 1400x1050px screen is quite nice as anticipated, if a little hard to view at an angle. (Wish I could retroactively update: this will be fixed soon on new M200s)
Life is okay, I’m in an apartment, at good summer campus rates. Taking summer school classes. Yada ya. Enough about me.
Is DDT really good for me?
Michael Crichton relays that we should never have banned DDT in a lecture of his at CalTech (among lots more meaty claims) while calling out environmentalism of religious zealotry.
When a magazine article in “21st Century Science Tech” I ran across made a parallel claim I was interested.
The 1972 U.S. ban on DDT is responsible for a genocide 10 times larger than that for which we sent Nazis to the gallows at Nuremberg. It is also responsible for a menticide which has already condemned one entire generation to a dark age of anti-science ignorance, and is now infecting a new one.
I did another google search to collect my research. I found one back-patting environmentalist group page on DDT, it’s problems, and Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. Also, thankfully a posting on The Straight Dope (which previously has shed light on terrible confoundings like the scroll lock key) addressing 21st Century Science.
