Interesting. So its my imagination every day with those large signs all over the Beltway that say the price at each exit and toll plaza.

Nice conspiracy you've got going on. Too bad its all in your head.

Yay, Urban Myths live on.

There is no Global DDT Ban. Due to overuse in America we ended up poising ourselves (basically when we were to spread it, the scientists/instructions said use 1 bag, the spreader used 10 bags, to be sure.)

DDT is still legal to use in Africa, and in fact, is being used. Its one of the most cost efficient methods at controlling Malaria. Its just more highly monitored than it was before (due to people using way too much.)

Go hit your wiki's, and find out more about the great DDT Myth, FUD brought to you by the anti-environmental movement, and embraced by the USA.
