There will be experts from both sides of the issue present at the meeting. Mr. Skunkape, this thread doesn't concern you. This thread concerns those of us who ARE concerned. You are obviously very happy with your current situation and I applaud your intestinal fortitude. Please leave this thread for those of us who would like to INVESTIGATE this matter further. Please let us decide this through the proper amount of red tape and bureaucratic double-speak, without passing judgement from your proverbial armchair. Or, are you willing to go fight for the pesticide's right to liberty and freedom? Are you PRO-pesticide? I am no expert, but I doubt the fella driving the truck past my house twice a week is either. I want a discussion in the public forum. That is democracy.
My family ran a pest control business for countless years, and I grew up in that environment. My exposure level was high, and I do not wish to be sprayed any longer. I moved to this area to reach my full potential, enjoy the wonderful weather and environment, and get healthy. I consider the mass spraying of pesticides to be anathema to this pursuit. There are other options, and though you would love for someone to point them out so that you can riff on them, I think we will save it for the meeting where there might be viable discussion.
Is this my invitation to get out of town before the sun sets? You guys are nutz;I suspect you have less interest in 'investigation' and more in entering the meeting with your preconceived notions, no matter how erroneous, firmly cemented and then spreading the gospel of fear. And as a matter of fact, if I am not working at 9:30 AM like most of the civilized world, I will go to the show and tell and participate just as much as anyone else who lives here, and if somebody starts quacking like a duck, I will call them on it. I see it as an obligation as a guardian of the local public health and welfare.
