Anger Over Malathion Spraying

The malathion spraying doesn’t eradicate Medflies, and there’s overwhelming evidence that this toxic rain is dangerous to our health and devastating to the environment. I can only conclude that the spraying isn’t about Medfly eradication at all. It’s about the arrogance of government in this “democratic” country to do whatever the hell it wants to do, and the taxpayers be damned. In a perfect expression of naked power and contempt for the citizens, the officeholders in Sacramento and Washington poison us, then hand us the bill to pay for it.

Jefferson was right. We do need to have a revolution ever so often.
