Krw presents yet another example of right-wing logic - anything he disagrees with has to be based on a hoax. He can't understand the evidence, so it has to be fraudulent.
The pesticide manufacturers would have liked to be able to ignore Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" but she'd done her work much too well to let them get away with the hoax defence.
They did manage to get away with releasing enough DDT into the environment that Californian mothers were expressing breast milk that contained more DDT than the FDA allowed in milk intended for human consumption, but that wouldn't worry krw - real right-wing men don't drink milk, and their kids have to adapt or die.
