The purpose of my argument was never to be diversionary, but to explore some of the details of another's argument. I can accept, though, that it can be very frustrating to folks who don't write and do numbers fast in their spare time. So, let me give you a very concise argument: 1) Neli told me at Christmas that she got word from home (Zambia) that the EU is threatening a withholding of funding if Zambia does not stop the spraying of house walls with DDT to prevent malaria. 2) This technique has been demonstrated in South Africa and shown on this list to be very effective. 3) I therefore conclude that the The EU is more worried about the political power of Green parties than children in Zambia dying.
