Malathion Controversy

Wake up, folks! Don’t criticize malathion, however reprehensible it may seem. Let’s work on saving the Medfly from extinction. We in Malibu (guess who’s our leader?), Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Encino, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Brentwood and Sherman Oaks have unanimously declared these contiguous areas a “Medfly Preservation Zone” under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Why not do the same for your neighborhood? Alternatively, you can contact your friendly “Stinger” SAM salesman, or, you can keep crying and learn how to paint cars.
