It's my major, something i'm passionate about sorry for getting highly irritated.
I'm about to graduate, I value the lives of people more than animals. Never said that animals were more important. I know politics, I value the use of a product that saves lives, my only argument, is that it needs to be highly controlled and not over used. It is evident that even though we think we know all there is to know about DDT, there hasn't been enough non-politicized test, we don't know enough about it to simply allow its open use. Like with any pesticide, we have to be careful about the non-target species. It is important to human lives now,but, more needs to be done than just kill the mosquitos, a vaccine, something to erradicate the disease itself not just the carrier. I hate mosquitos more than anything, but sometimes the easiest and cheapest solution isn't always the right solution, DDT will be a temporary fix, when they become immune, we will still be left with malaria. Hopefully by then more money, and good vaccine will be around to help fix the problem. and once again, I've been around some of my profs enough, to fully trust their teaching, not all but some. I know many things can be skewed in teaching, which is a sad reality. Finally, i'm for its use, until a permanent solution can be found. Until then, more un-biased testing needs to be done.
Opinions of mine, thats it, not a teachers not someone else's but my own study. I'm a conservative in a liberal study, It is hard to grasp what someones agenda is, especially some of the liberals, you never know, until you do your own study, and find the truth.
