If people who do not understand each other at least understand that they do not understand each other, then they understand each other better than when, not understanding each other, they do not even understand that they do not understand each other. -- Gustav Ischheiser Appearances and Realities I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which , when you look at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated. -- Poul Anderson

  16,000 or more Pesticides are available for 'US' to conquer NATURE by killing every living thing that competes with Humans for....well.....anything!  Big Pharma always has 'the solution'.....Carson's books, especially 'SILENT SPRING', were widely read...but, ironically, very ineffective in changing Human Habits........although the increasingly widespread utilization of DDT and other popular pesticides...administered into The Environment via 'ground soak', 'surface spraying' or 'fogging trucks and airplanes',  to destroy undesirable 'pests' that not only spread diseases like malaria, but also those creatures that were just competing for food.......and devouring or 'soiling' human farming crops....if only with some bite marks, if not their complete consumption of entire fields of potential HUMAN FOODS....usually appeared.

(And, by the way, I suggest the placement of a damp, unmercerized cotton towel on the floor, in front of the mail slot; you never know when someone's gonna send you a Venetian blown glass one-hitter chillum, of infinite Beauty, you know).......Not Everything is 'junque mail', but I'll be dogged to sort it all out! Drat!....now the dog, unable to chase the mailman, has, frustratedly, peed on the advertising mail, as it dropped from...
