ReplyDeleteI blame it on the way that governments react to a problem. When it became known that DDT was harmful to some wildlife and caused Eagle egg shells to become too thin and getting crushed by nesting birds, instead of just stopping it's use where it was causing harm, the government simply forced it to stop being produced.

ReplyDeleteThere once was a man from Devizes,

One ball was so small,

while the other one won several prizes.
