I've admired John Stossel for a long time. One of the things you mentioned is DDT. Removing DDT from the market has resulted in millions of deaths, particularly in Africa, from malaria. DDT had pretty much wiped out the disease by killing mosquitos. I don't know if he gets into genetically altered food, which we eat here everyday, but which the EU keeps from being allowed to be sold in Africa to protect it's own farmers. This also kills huge numbers of starving people. But some elements of the media, who won't bring John Stossel on to discuss his book, would rather just act like the only problem in Africa is AIDS. It's a shame the way interest groups pervert science. It would be great if there was a non-partisan group of scientists who had the credibilty to tell the truth. Unfortunately, like the rest of us humans, these men of science are largely driven by political agendas. That's how they get their funding.
