is my child retarded?

This got searched on my blog twice today. All I have to say is if your child is retarded, I feel sorry for you. My child on the other hand is perfect. So you might not want to read my blog anymore because you might get jealous. Ask anyone, Grace is AWESOME.

Disclaimer: I like retards. They are cool like gay people. I am not a bad person, I am just lucky.

Bird Populations flourish; millions die

I have been researching a topic for a couple of english papers I have been writing and thanks to a resource I have, a horrible topic that got me a great grade was brought to my attention. Do you know the environmentalists are allowing millions of people to die for the sake of the bald eagle? Where is the line drawn for putting animal lives in front of humans? Sure, I will swerve and risk hitting a tree (and possibly killing myself) before I would hit a dog, but how can they sit there knowing a vast quanitity of people are dieing and do nothing about it? What the hell am I talking about? DDT. Let me explain… DDT is an insecticide that was first used during WWI to help kill insects that carried various harmful diseases, such as malaria. I will skip ahead so this won’t be incredibly long, but should you want to fill some gaps and/or learn more about this you can google it yourself. So, anyway, thanks to Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, DDT was banned. Her claim? Oh, my, the BIRDS are dieing, DDT is thinning the shells, they are going to go extinct!!!! The real picture? So what! Yes, DDT has been found to be one of the causes for the egg thinning which may have lead to the extiction (I cannot spell) of our national bird, but think of the bigger picture. yeah, I know you have no idea what I am blabbing about, so let me explain why DDT was GOOD… Back in the day before DDT, malaria cases in Sri Lanka alone were 2.8. million. Once they started using DDT…. 17 cases. Yeah, HUGE difference. Then the EPA came up with some probable human side affects, which granted may be caused by DDT, but wasn’t and still hasn’t been proven. Once DDT was banned the death toll of malaria in Third World countries skyrocketed to 8.2 MILLION people. All this over a damn bird. There’s a quote about this that I love that says that the ban on DDT has killed more people than Hilter. Isn’t it sickening. And not only is it not used here in America anymore but the EPA has banned it from any country receiving aid from America. If that doesn’t spell blackmail I don’t know what does. Let’s see… use DDT and starve to death from lack of the resources you rely on us for, or don’t use DDT and listen to your childern die. Don’t get me wrong, I love America, but how can the EPA force their ideal environmental purity on people who cannot even afford to eat. Well, that’s all for now. I will most likely rant and rave some more later.
