It is the correct link. I was editing it when you acccessed it.

My grandpa was farming in Saskatchewan during those years and he regularly used DDT. He died in '68 of colon cancer.

It was a time when regulation and testing was not good and companies were just throwing stuff onto the market. Which explains some of the soil & water toxicity problems we’re facing now.

I would argue that being single equates to being alone … and women who are alone are vulnerable as hell.

So (at least sometimes) the devil you know is safer than the devil you don’t.

Tbf I suspect a lot of this developed from people moving from a “we” mindset during WW2 to the “me” mindset that came out of Reaganomics.

When humanity can no longer look at our neighbour and simply respect them - no matter their skin colour, religion or political viewpoint - that’s when the shit hits the fan.

And politicians have seen fit to feed this sickness rather than work towards unity … because peace doesn’t pay (or play) as well as divisiveness.

I’ve known men who were kind, gentle boys but were forced into ‘tough boy’ roles by either their parents or their peers/bullies. They become angry and violent and everyone around them never understood how it happened.

And rapist, human trafficker, scammer, etc etc etc.

Scumbucket for short.

Sometimes it’s easier to stay with the devil you know than chance the devil you don’t.

I must have missed Trump’s announcement that the US was bombing Yemen now. 🙄

Weeping willows do that.

Israel, the USA, the UK, Canada, etc etc.

Every time Israel bulldozes a bombed building I bet there are bodies in the mix.

All good.

Don’t forget neonicotinoids too.

Maybe you’d like to work on yours first.
