A sampling:
1) Listened to the Bush press conference. When he was asked about his relationship with the UN, he brought up Darfur as an example of problems with the UN. You see, the UN refuses to send troops in without Sudan's approval. Bush actually said "You know, there's another way (heh heh heh)". My blood chilled.
2) The E. coli outbreak in bagged spinach. Any food safety expert could tell you that bagged, pre-washed greens are probably not the safest way of getting your greens. Finding out that companies providing this spinach (enough that they haven't traced it back yet) are using untreated manure as fertilizer just reinforces this. Buy local, people. Know your farmers.
3) DDT use in malaria control in Africa. Will the bio-accumulation not happen because we're only suggesting spraying inside the house? You've got to be kidding me; bugs are not limited to in-house and outdoors. There are other issues here, though: who's paying for it? Who's controlling it? I'm not convinced.
