I’m engaging in a part-time discussion with a serial mope named Ed Darrel who is convinced that Rachel Carson, that malthusian angel of death, is the bomb diggity shiznit.

The tactics, on his part, are classic.

“You can’t prove a single thing she said was wrong”

Shit, pretty much everything she said was wrong, and it self-dissects rather easily.

“You never read her book- you don’t know!!!”

I never sucked cock either, but I bet it doesn’t taste like a Rocket Pop.

“Cite any study that proves DDT is safe”

Well, in ten seconds of googling, I can cite quite a few. But that’s not my gig, you asshelmet.

See, the thing is, these idiots have just developed into true believers, who have had erected for them a fact proof screen that prevents any reality from penetrating the density of their awareness. No matter what you say, they refute it, whether it is capable of being refuted or not.

I don’t know how to get through to these idiots, because they are incapable of reason. Trouble is, they clog the world with their stupidity, and they vote. Wonder if we can somehow construct an Ark B? Maybe keep the telephone sanitizers this time.
