there are some people that receive satellite and receive their local stations over the air. if you get your local stations over an antenna, those stations will not be in analog anymore. the great bulk of satellite people have -- do not have that problem. >> i want to go over this with you. so how are 32 million approved it -- so far, 32 million approve households have transitioned. but what does that mean? >> they applied for a coupon and that application has been approved. that means that they -- once it is approved, they will perceive the coupons in the mail. >> this is the actual coupons. this is what people will receive. it is just like a credit card. it is usable only once and it is good for $40. when you buy a converter box, you take that you pawn in and it is used as a credit for $40. >> $42 million * $40. >> households are entitled to two coupons. i>> " do people who have cable television or satellite television, do they need to apply? >> i take that back. if you have cable in one room of your own, but you have another tv in the kitchen and that receives program over

the room was not air conditioned. the humidity matched the temperature. and as members sweated, they were being told this world was going to get warm and all kinds of things were going to take place. 1988, that was a few years after all we had the interest in the ice age. there was a coming ice age that was published in some of the major publications and it was inest tabble that the earth was going to cool and people were going to have to migrate to south texas. and it's a fact that at least one, and probably more than one, although scientists were certain we were going to undergo this ice age, are now on the side of the argument that the earth is going to get warmer and get warmer fast and then anything that's a weather anomaly is going to be the result of global warming. if you remember, we had a few hurricanes as a result of global warming. last year, hurricanes were way last year, hurricanes were way off.

decision to cancel the plan to auction slots they three new york air ports? >> i hadn't heard of it and if it's true, i think it sounds like a dreadful mistake. j.f.k. is full, that's very convenient for those people who are flying and have slots at j.f.k. the only chance for other carriers to get in there is for slots to be auctioned so i'm not sure who comes up with these ideas sometimes. >> aviation safety is in the news this week as the national transportation safety board investigates the crash in buffalo, new york. do you think the issues that have come to light, including pilot pay, training and commutes need action from the airline need action from the airline industry? >> well, look, obviously, if there's an incident airlines and the f.a.a. -- thank you very much -- airlines and the f.a.a. need to look at every single incident to see what lessons can be learned from them. i think fully the most domestic airlines, most international airlines are extremely well run, at virgin we are proud of the fact that we have run an airline for 25 years without inc

i worked on many hundreds of air strikes. on the target sets where we were trying to kill saddam hussein, it was a limited target set. we have 50 missions -- we had 50 missions where we dropped emissions. in those 50 airstrikes, we had a grand total of zero successes. not only did we not get saddam hussein, we did not get any of the people on the deck of cards. as we went through the war, it was failure after failure. i would estimate about 250 civilians were killed in the air strikes that we did. i truly felt that we did the best job that could. and then left the pentagon on the 11th of april, 2003. this was days after the statute of sitcoaddam fell in baghdad. one week later, i was standing in an air strike area. i stood facing this man. he was in his 60s, may be older. his fingernails were really worn down. he had brown hands. he told me how two families were wiped out. his children and grandchildren were killed. his son was a doctor, his wife was a doctor. that was a difficult moment. but it was also a moment where i knew

it's not what you expect after you go on the air. it's like somebody pulled the plug except nobody did. two out. wigginton a-strike. 2-1. >> buck: second time we have seen sean west throw breaking balls when he's behind in the count. he's got a lot of confidence. boy, he has been a real pleasant surprise since they called him up from double-a. as jim mentioned, his seventh start. >> jim: he was a compensation pick after the first round in 2005. wigginton pops it up. again, it's uggla at second base. he waits. it's a mile up there. it finally comes down. he makes the catch and the inning ends. a one-out double, a man left. we'll head to the bottom of the first in miami. no score.

particularly when the air france linkup cut off ba link up at paris. get american airlines is now tried to argue that alliances is great for consumers. that's the sort of flip-flop which would give the most popular politician a bad name. what may look like a lifesaver for an airline will be a millstone around the neck of consumers. if ba-aa were to receive clearance, fares would rise because there would be less competition. why else would ba and aa want to join forces at an airport effectively closed to newcomers. in addition for the travel trade, and large corporate accounts, ba-aa would be very damaging indeed. travel agent with such large parts of their fares being dried from ba-aa would also be completely beholden to them. with well over 75% of their income coming from just one source. they would end up being forced for their very survival to recommend ba-aa to passengers. a bigger airline with less competition would force up prices because they wouldn't face so much pricing pressure. travelers will pay higher fares in return for a poor product. th

, i knew william airs when i was on the left. a more on. -- a moron. guilty as hell, free as a bird, america is a great country. that's a moral defective right there. william airs, with he was elected vice-president of sds, his -- i guess you all it, his inauguration speech was, i haven't read a book in a year. this is a college student. now, i was a marxist at the time, i read a lot of books. you know, there are many other things you can do in life, but if you're a student, and if you're proposing to change the world, you'd better know something. so bill ayers was -- well, i don't want to go into -- i want to avoid -- i don't want to get too personal with william airs, but this is the columbia college guru. social justice education, which is marxist education, communist, whatever you want to call it, it's certainly not liberal, is the doctrine of the moment. in education school. and students, i just came back from two universities, tufts and george washington, and they told me the problem doesn't start here, the problem is in th

you're on the air,. you are going to hear the air unless you hit the mute button on your tv. what is your question for george will? >> caller: i'm one of your fans down here. a few years ago you wrote an article about what you essentially thought of colin powell, and you took him apart, and was so good to see that. it was everything he had done wrong and i would like you to comment on that, please. >> i don't frankly remember the particular column. i remember having a distinct difference on the subject of israel and the middle east. colin powell is just now engaged in a robust argument about the future of the republican party and i think colin powell is some room the republicans should have in their party as a matter of enormous distinction in the achievement and a strong feelings. i am much more conservative republican than he is but i am i guess what they call a big ten republican. i might say with regard to wilmington, wilmington before michael jordan became the most famous export from wilmington, the most famous one was my former colleague and missed friend david. >> host

somewhere between 40%, 45% of the close air support missions that are flown are flown in support of our allies and partners. it will also involve a much greater degree of integration of military operations by the general and presumably general rodriguez to avoid getting into situations as much as we possibly can involving not only our troops but the troops of the other contributing nations where we have civilian casualties' credit -- and other civilian casualties. >> what did it find? where american forces responsible in any way? >> there is responsibility. i thought the ambassador weeks ago said that we may never know how many, and certainly as i have looked at the investigation, there are some estimates, but i agree with what he said. i do not think we will ever really know how many. there were command and control challenges, chain of command challenges, training issues that we have to address, as well as you may remember there were changes that general mccarren made in january as a result of incidents last year, and we have evolved through those changes. there are additional changes

so, it is the same size field inside, but the air, there's a lot more air in there. and balls are just jury rooming out of there. >> johnny: willie harris speaking of air, a shot to right field. >> rob: you build a $1.5.05-star hotel with a baseball field in the middle of it, you get -- $1.5.05-star motel baseball field in the middle of it. i watched him, harris, today and he has a batting practice working on. man on second, no outs trying to move him to third and he did nothing but spray the ball all over the field. i have said it before, i will say it again, it is not like they are not working and they are not trying and hustling. battling like heck to win these ballgames. >> johnny: josh bard they have called back and hernandez will step back as dusty baker comes out. he will go to the bullpen right now. >> rob: you have got arthur rhodes up in a hurry. >> johnny: yep. the nats have the tying run at first. we will be back in a moment. but the things we all look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence

>> the anchor aires stands, i think it is wrapped up. it is being briefed to a number of people within this building. i think the chairman was briefed on it last week, the secretary was briefed on at this morning by brigadier general thomas it was the investigative officer in charge. i thank centcom, who has commissioned the investigation, will ultimately determine how the findings will be rolled out so i don't know that i can share them with you here today. i can tell you having sat in on the briefing this secretary got that this incident was exhaustively investigated. this briefing, in fact, the secretary took today, i think had been scheduled for half an hour. it went one hour and had to be rushed to conclusion, because they had many, many details to share with him. what it appeared to me as though what is that the personnel involved tick extraordinary care in tracking the militants that they had come under attack from. as you know this was originally an afghan unit that came in contact with taliban and in farha, and required back up

this talks about an air strike made in early may. the military report that is it is impossible to determine the number of civilian carbts that occurred on may 4, and says the number could be higher. a report on the same incident by the afghan independent human rights says there were as many as 86 civilian carbles. locals put the death toll at 140. jacksonville, florida. you're on the line for independents. caller: good morning. i'm calling about the florida senate race. they've got on the democratic side, mr. meek running i think. representative. and he's running on the democrats. then they've got another lady, her name is cor reinbrown. she lives here in jacksonville and she's running on the premise of, i can deliver. and i'm an african american contractor here, sir. and she has not delivered for us because we get 1% -- i take that back. less than 1% of between 30 million and $100 million that comes through duval county for people to bid on. so if she can't deliver and help the local folks, how can she deliver and help the state and

and almost 90% of the students adamantly insist that the air back then was so much cleaner. oh, you're so lucky to have lived in an age in southern california when the air was so clean. and now it's so dirty and all of us are destined to die and to be infected with this pollution in our lungs. well, the fact is, that is dead wrong as well. someone continues to misinform our young people, perhaps for political reasons, whatever, but the fact is, when i tell them that they are 180 degrees wrong, that in fact the air is so much cleaner now, that there's almost no comparison to what it was when i was a young person in high school, they are incredulous. many of them don't believe me when i say that. but they know afterwards when they check up on it that they have been lied to. well, whatever the reason, whatever the motive behind this misinformation that's being provided to young people, whether it was jacques cousteau or whether it's the education establishment or any of the other people we're talking about who have ties to the radical environmental movement, whatever reason the

we've seen it poe lute the air we the air we breathe and endanger our planet. most of all we've seen that other countries realize a critical truth: the nation that lead in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century global economy. now's the time for the united states of america to realize this as well. now is the time for -- the time for us to lead. the energy bill before the house will finally create a set of incentives that will spark a clean energy transformation of our economy. it will spur the development of low carbon sources of energy, everything from wind, solar and geothermal power to safe nuclear energy and cleaner coal. it will spur new energy savings that reduce heating cost notice winter and cooling costs in the summer. and most importantly it will make possible the creation of millions of new jobs. make no mistake. this is a jobs bill. we're already seeing why this is true in the clean energy investments we're making through the recovery act. in california, 3,000 people will be employed to build a new sol

as the democrats put a price on the very air that we breathe. the cap and trade bill that came out of the energy and commerce committee last week, federal building standards are in that bill are of concern to our realtors, to our commercial property holders. knowing that there will be these standards that are going to be very, very difficult for them to comply with. knowing that they're -- there are going to be energy awe kits -- audits put on their houses. knowing they'll have to buy carbon credits if they don't have a windmill or solar panels on the roof or windmill in the yard. knowing that they literally are going to see the air that they breathe taxed. and as my colleague from georgia had previously said, you know, groceries don't go in -- don't grow in a grocery store. they don't grow in a grocery store, mr. speaker. they grow out in the fields. they require this carbon dioxide in order to grow and be green and be healthy. and to provide the food. and the forestation that we need here in the united states and certainly around the globe. th

good morning, on air independent line. caller: yes, i believe the president obama should take immediate, firm action. but do it in a way where we can get support from around the world. he should first go to the united nations and ask them to intervene. if not, it is simple and can be done by executive order. anyone who does business with north korea this not do business with the united states. very plain, simple, cut and dried. host: two stories this morning. the conviction of the journalists and the comments from secretary clinton yesterday, concerning putting the north koreans back on the terrorism list. in the piece this morning, while mr. obama is willing to reopen the six-party talks that mr. bush began, the other participants -- he has no intention of offering new incentives to give the north to fulfil agreements previously. all these agreements were recently renounced by north korea. chicago is next. caller: good morning. listening to the previous callers it is upsetting to think someone wants to think about paranoi

from really want to deal with clean air and do it -- if you really want to deal with clean- air into with in a way that provides a low-cost, reliable electricity, nuclear power is the proven way to do it. france produces 86% of their energy that would. we are helping india, china produced clean electricity that way. the president himself has said that iran has a right to make electricity from nuclear plants, so why should we not, and united states, pickup this technology that we ourselves invented? the only thing i would like to say is that i attended an exciting announcement a week ago by a major american supplier which plans to build 125 megawatts small reactors. this is by a company that has built most of the small reactors in the world. they are perfectly capable of doing it. that puts a whole new thrust to is. that means that these reactors, if everything works out as proposed, could be made in an american plant, shipped to an american site, and they would produce the amount of electricity that is needed and all the supplies and products would be made in the united states. that

does it just go into the air and disappear? i would like to hear from the conservative on the panel to answer that please. host: i don't know if you want to between the two of you. guest: i'm not sure they know where the emissions go. they say they want to push for a clean and healthy environment. i think the main thing they were arguing against was first of all, the cost. all these intricate details that many of the of members of congress did not even read, and the fact that a number of these jobs that people are in will be -- companies will move to china and india for cheaper labor. the emission standards are not as high there. host: another capitol hill store happening in detroit. the wife of john conyers pled guilty to bribery in detroit on friday. are there any political ramifications for the john conyers? guest: it is probably too soon to assess. a large part of it will depend on how closely involved in these efforts john converse -- john conyers was paired we don't know the answer to that yet. host: what stories are you

this ball is hit up in the air by taveras. and he is dead to rights out at 2nd base. look at hairston caught between -- up in the air. that is why you have got to get that bunt down. when they say get it down. try not to have it pop up like that. >> johnny: taveras on first on the force out at 2nd base. we have got one down in the top of the first. johnny holliday for bob carpenter. you guys head to tampa for a weekend series tomorrow night. >> rob: we know we can't get rained out there. they have a roof. >> johnny: a lot of ball clubs don't really like playing in that particular atmosphere down there. >> rob: yeah. it never really affected me where i played. i think it was more a question of the noise level down there at tropicana field with all those cow bells during the playoffs, world series last year, it can get a little intense if you are not used to that. >> johnny: yep. >> rob: but you have got to try to block that out. >> johnny: brandon phillips in the series is 2-9. check swing and a ball popped down behind the dugout area. >> rob: a lot of overhangs, speak

warplanes took off from back-room air force base launching a precision air strike the moment of the vehicle moved out of a populated area. it was obliterated and they never knew what hit them. as the money man as the six creaky provinces in the south he was at the time the highest-ranking tala beneficial to be eliminated since the u.s.-led coalition invaded in 2001. although u.s. military officials in the western media hailed his killing a key circumstance of his death but little attention in charge of the finances was taken out when he was doing a dope deal one of the things that i hope comes from this book is that it helps people to redefine what they think of the taliban and al qaeda. most of us have a preconceived notion of what the taliban are like. we think of guys with turbans, most of them desperately in need of a pedicure or a bad. living in caves in afghanistan. we think of them as a liberal fanatics, gun-toting, basically backwards illiterate people. and what i would like to put forward to all of you who have climbed days kindly come down to hear me speak out like to put out anot

they get better quality picture, better quality of sound and more channels for free over the air. maybe this is the time to cut the cord and stop paying for tv and enjoy the benefits of digital television that looks more like pay television than anything else. you get more channels, you get a program guide, so why pay for television when you have this wonderful digital television available for free over the air. we have a ways to go. we have a major operation in the field. calls are pouring into the call center. we are now in a position to answer all of the concerns that we are getting from the public. we have people in the field that can help them in their homes and answer questions. we are ready. we are getting a large response and we are now able to handle it. that is why things went as smoothly as we could hope. >> i had robert mcdowell, commissioner of the fcc. now, the fcc moves into its search and rescue mode. we need to find those that have been left behind and we need to remind people to scan of their televisions -- to scan their televisions. make sure you re-scan your bo

this is several tons of stuff, actually, out of an air force base in hawaii. this is response to a cold weather disaster or challenge. two c-17's launched inside of 40 hours. there were unloading gear with the chinese two-star to stay thank you very much for the assistance. at the same time, china mobilized their army in a manner that is a little unusual for them, i think, but very helpful to the people there. this example was the year earthquake several months thereafter. same phone call comes same guy on china's in saying we're grateful for the offer and thankful for the help. two more c-17's go in. unless you've dealt with earthquakes, you do not think of what you need. chainsaws, water, food, and plastic sheeting. plastic sheeting was in short supply. a plastic sheeting shortage -- but again, the chinese were grateful for the assistance. we landed, a bloated, and took off. those to the cases come -- we landed, unloaded, and took off. in those cases, offers for assistance were warmly received. at the same time, right now, is successor to walter has just ret

or is it still up in the air? >> it's still up in the air. >> still up in the air. mr. chairman, my time is about expired. i'll yield back. i think i speak for every member of this committee on both sides of the aisle. we want to hear from the insurance companies in the next panel. but it is clear that if, in fact, there's a practice of going in after the fact and cancelling policies on technicalities, we have to do whatever is possible to prevent that. i think a company does have the right to make sure there's no fraudulent information. but it's obvious to me -- i'll guarantee you in ms. baiten's case there was no fraud intended and i'm convinced in the other two witnesses that they were being truthful and honest also. and if a citizen acts in good faith, we should expect the insurance companies to take their money. to act in good faith also. and i will tell you, ms. baiten, we will monitor your case and we will stay in touch with blue cross and blue shield of texas and so long as you do what you're supposed to do, i'll guarantee damn tee you that they'll do what they'

perhaps as they drank in the air for the last time, they never felt more alive. then they were spooked down the plank by thirsty, desperate men who cursed loudly and waved things to scare them and they skidded down the gangway shrieking in fear, thrown to the seas, so the ar mad did a could watch the wind. during these crossings, about half of the horses coming from the old world to the new were jetsoned along the equator in order to lighten the loads of these ships. sailors began referring to that part of the ocean as the horse latitudes. and this for me, as i was doing my research, became another astonishing thing. i always thought the horse latitudes was just a charming name on a map. i had no idea what it meant. and then i found this out and i thought, my god, what the horses went through, just to get back here, it's just quite amazing. now, of course, the other half survived, including the 16 horses of cortez. so in my first chapter, i reconstruct the arrival of these 16 horses on the beach, with hernando cortez and his crew in 1519, and their march into the

to develop rules to regulate greenhouse gases in the tradition of the clean water act and the clean air act. instead, it turns to a market-based approach. instead of a firm cap, regulating and reducing, this bill turns to carbon offset derivative futures that will be ensured by -- insured by credit default swaps. how quickly they forget wall street and a.i.g. and the damage they rot in the -- wrought in the financial sector. the market manipulators of enron corporation may have bankrupted their company, ken lay may be gone but they are truly embodied in this legislation. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas rise? mr. boozman: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. boozman: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today to honor the life of martin renic, a gracious contributor to the third district of arkansas who unexpectedly passed away last week. marty was a philantropist, a preservationist and above all a friend who knew him. he spent the last 12 ye

host: you're on the air. you know, you're going to be hearing an echo unless you hit the mite button on your tv. what's your question for george will. caller: george will, i'm one of your fans down here. guest: i appreciate that. caller: a few years ago you wrote an article about what you essentially thought of colin powell and you took him apart. it was so good to see that, it was everything he had done wrong, i'd like you to comment on that, please. guest: i don't frankly remember the particular column. i do remember having a distinct difference with mr. powell on the subject of israel and the middle east. colin powell just now is engaged in a robust argument about the future of the republican party and i think colin powell is someone obviously the republicans should have in their party. he's a man of enormous distinction and achievement and strong feelings. i'm much more conservative republican than he is. but i'm, i guess what they call a big tent republican. you might say with regard to wilmington, wilmi

carriers competing with us, pan-am, twa, air florida, people's express, all 11 of those carriers went bankrupt. virgin atlantic survived because we offer the best quality product across the atlantic. but to be perfectly honest, key not guarantee virgin atlantic's survival if, if ba and aa are allowed to merge. it'll be, you know, like competing with our hands tied behind our back, our legs, you know, bound up. and it'll be, it'll be very, very difficult. >> tell us about your plans to operate the newest wide-bodied jet liner, the airbus a380. what markets will the 380 serve, will this aircraft be a formidable competitor to the ba and american airlines fleet? >> well, we will operate the a-380 on the longer routes, so routes like tokyo, hong kong, australia, los angeles. new york. and it's a great plane. we're actually at the moment talking to airbus to try to persuade them to lengthen it because i think the economics of the plane will be astoundingly good if they can have a double-decker, double-decker. thank you. >> one of our members of the audience says he avoids heathrow because o

re-authorization and the next generation air transportation system known as nexgen. house resolution 472 congratulates and salutes the 70th anniversary of aopa and its dedication to general aviation safety and the important contribution made by all aviators to the united states. in addition, the resolution commends aopa for creating the air safety foundation, leading the recovery of general aviation of light aircraft in the manufacturing industry and setting the stage for development of nexgen. for these reasons and others i urge my colleagues to support house resolution 472, and i'll reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. petri: madam speaker, i rise in support of house resolution 472 and a co-sponsor of the resolution introduced by my colleague, mr. dent of pennsylvania, congratulating the aircraft owners and pilots association on the organization's 70th anniversary, and i yield such time as he may consume to the author of the resolution, representative dent. the speaker pro tempore: the ge

what they have on the air is patients from candidates from england and canada and how they would have been killed if they did not come to america for health care. so they are taking the same approach and telling a very different story. but in terms of communicating, there is a successful -- we have one of the most successful models, and that is the power of a pairable and story to -- parable and story to capture people. >> definitely stories work best. i won't repeat everything bill said. i agree with that. but when you show those ads it shows how far we've come and how far we have to go. what lisa is doing is an example of what i said. health care, everyone is talking about needing reform. and one reason it wasn't used by president obama, or most of the candidates i was working for running for office, you have to get something where you're going to campaign. people say there is too much negative advertising, but you have to say there is a contract. so you are saying divided we fail message, we want to reform health care, and your ponet is saying we have to make changes in health care

and it was the largest air recovery attend to this country's history. and so it seems so is when we deal with air traffic safety is always a tragedy that moves us to the next day so i appreciate your being here. i am very very sympathetic from personal reasons, but as i was listening to the testimony, mr. cohen, i feel like you are on the hot seat and i appreciate your being here but as i listen to you i asked my staff because i know all associations have conferences and meetings and so forth, so while you were testifying and said go get me a copy of you're last conference which was held in mid may. it is a four or five day conference, this is now two or three months after the significant incidents as you described, in receiving an incident in the regional airline's history. and yet when i looked to the conference agenda of four and a half days i see very little mention of safety except in the last -- let me just finish -- and the last couple of days. i am assuming to discuss some of the conference you had conversations. i know as a former mayor when th

much of it is mobilizing -- its mobilizing capability, the vocabulary it uses is partly related to the air yab-israeli issue and is not completely and i think the fundamental issue is the issue of governance and legitimacy in arab societies and the gap, tension there is often expressed in the terms of the arab-israeli conflict and why palestine is such an important issue. so from the region the arab-israeli frontal is a critical one for addressing the challenge of iran. >> i think we might also quickly add a good litmus test is to see what obama's overtures are to see what they put forward on the peace process and if the concern over iran gives them incentive to do so maybe it would be a good litmus test but so far we have yet to get results and might suggest an answer to you. we are going to take a break. and -- because i asoup that all of you folks who have -- assume that you you folks who stayed with us, and have enjoyed this discussion so far are probably hungry and there is food outside in the hallway and we are doing boxed lunches since we are stadium seating and take your various br

abc will not devote time to an opposing view point and refused to air ads critical of the administration's health care plan. i join with dozens of other members of congress to send a letter to abc news protesting this one-sided coverage. it is contrary to the journalistic code of ethics which states that a journalist's duty is to seek truth and provide a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. abc should adhere to this code of ethics and abandon its plans to broadcast unfair and biased coverage of the health care debate. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio rise? the gentleman from new york. >> revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, i rise to pay tribute to bill banks, a person that really made a difference in the lives of so many. bill banks passed four days ago and of course he's going to be really, really missed. so at this time i would like to say to his wife, denies, and to his daughter and -- denise, and to his daughter and all those family members that in spite of the fa

i have three babies, i love those babies and i do not want them to breathe in dirty air. and if we focus on co-2, we are doing a disservice to them and their generation and a disservice to the older people of this country who will also breathe in the dirty air and focusing on co-2 to save the planet, because what is happening here, these people are out there to save the planet, but not out to save the people of this planet. one solution to a nonexistent threat, which also caused a huge destruction of people was, of course, the eliminating of d.d.t. d.d.t., we were told was destructive to the environment, especially to bird egg shells. d.d.t. is banned. and what is the result of d.d.t. being banned? malaria where it was almost eliminated. it made a comeback and millions of children have died because of this nonsense. i can't tell you if pelican egg shells are a bit more fragile or less fragile because of d.d.t. i can tell you the tradeoff with millions of young children dying in third-world countries -- unfortunately the people driving policy here and out to save our plane
