Yes, and it killed off more than insects, arachnids and many other invertebrates. But, it was *very* good at what it did, just a little bit too indiscriminate. But, the point was it was very safe for mammals, so showing spraying the child with it as a "bad idea" was a bit of fear mongering...

To be fair, DDT worked very well. The only real unfortunate side effects was that it killed all the insects, not just the bad ones.

Implementing this is a terrible idea. But forcing the left to mount the legal fight to prevent it could be genius. Pass the law, then let them spend tons of money running it up to SCOTUS and setting precedents that will prevent anything like it in the future. Specifically structure the...

Intercepting a shipment of chemicals from one country to another doesn't really sound like any of the US's business, to be honest. Imagine if Mexico decided to intercept a shipment of gun parts from Austria to the US because some of the guns would end up illegally in Mexico...

Life is still pretty easy for most people. We have some of the most comfortable lives of any humans who have ever existed. There are plenty of injustices, but people see them as isolated incidents. People will put up with a lot of shit if they get to keep their comfortable lives. But there...

Things need to get a lot worse. But widespread door to door confiscations might do it.

The thing about a modern civil war in the US is that it's not a geographical divide. It's ideological, and at most urbal/rural. That means the divide will run right down the middle of most institutions like police and military.

Nobody needs to agree on anything. Needs no central planning at all. Takes about 3% of the population to successfully accomplish something like this. Basically a couple million people independently decide a line has been crossed, and then they independently pick targets of opportunity...

Why would you fight the cops or the national guard or the military ? You just hunt down the people who sent them, and all the people who voted for those guys. You don't fight when they show up at your door at 3am. You don't even fight when you show up at their door at 3am. You just show up...

My how things have changed. When I was in school we had multiple combat vets as teachers. OfC, we didn't have school shootings then either.

I'm sure they were looking for a better life. Selling a few hundred million dollars in drugs would bring most people a better life.

Which is very ironic, seeing as how you can vote yourself into Marxism, but you'll need to shoot your way out.

They're not pussies. They have giant balls to pull the crap they have. It's not a lack of balls. They don't do it because they're all co-conspirators.

I wonder what real federal crimes were committed in the process of this that Trump's DOJ could prosecute people for. When you uncover fraud, you don't just eliminate it, you need to prosecute it.

We're all trapped on this planet so far. Does the logic change when the city gets big, if it also gets crowded ? Technology is making it small. Look at the urge to get away. Half the people on this board just want to get away from other people and live a quiet life left alone. But that's...
