The facts, in the case of DDT, are irrefutable.  It causes a calcium 
take-up problem in our surviving dinosaurs, aka birds, so their eggshells 
are so thin the egg cannot survive a 1/2" drop from the birds rear into 
the nest.  We, yeah MAN and his DDT damned near did what the asteroid 
strike in the Yucatan 65 million years ago didn't quite do, kill the last 
of the dinosaurs.  And, FWIW, between DDT and the PCB's, we have nearly 
killed all the frogs, which depend on a bone in their penis to get the 
job of making new frogs done.  That bone is, in the few survivors taken 
from the effected areas, so shrunken or missing entirely that that frog 
WILL be the last of his family.

And you are out of line, Tim.  Way out.
