Scientists supported the politics, just as they now support the politics of global warming.

I'm sure it felt good since liberals usually base their views on feelings rather than facts. Of course, careful followers of these posts have not overlooked the fact that you completely ignored the DDT issue and tried to cover it up name-calling. > [Platt] > Yes. By all means.

You forgot Hitler's pal Joe Kennedy, daddy to JFK. Which shows what relevancy your screed as to do with the issue.
