Not only was extensive research done, but there were many years of practical experience also. I doubt seriously you lived here before the days of the mosquito control to experience nature at it's best! Some of those who did experience it, didn't survive do to Malaria, in fact, the cattle they tried to raise couldn't survive it either. I suggest you do more investigation before making judgements. Not everything you learn in college is accurate you know, their statement is that they want to stetch your creative thinking! However, I don't see it stretched a whole lot.

Could you possibly have a bigger chip on your shoulder?


Your personal anecdotes aside; I suspect that in the ?ole days? there weren?t nearly as many people in south Walton and the impact of one individual was negligible to the overall ecology.

I am more comfortable following the guidance, (and regulations) of educated civil and environmental professionals than with ?the way we always did it? mentality.

Just responding in kind! I have no intention of sitting back without protest to the activities and philosophies of those that come here wondering just how we could possibly have lived without their intense knowledge! I for one don't appreciate the lack of respect toward those who have lived and survived through what many of you could never have dreamed of.

:roll: ...and some people think that the poisons, sprayed from the trucks and planes, really don't have any effect on us. :funn: :popcorn:

So that's as good as you can do?
Why should I type more than that? You obviously didn't take time to read any of the longer posts with factual data regarding wetlands. All you seem to care about is spraying poison to kill mosquitos. I'll just watch. :popcorn:

Florida Girl, you have some very good points.
However I would like to point out that, like spraying for bugs eliminating wetlands can stop the problem temporarily, but the problem will return just as bad as it was if not worse.
That tree on your roof was just as much nature as the mosquito larvae hatching in your detention ponds. It only existed because man gave it a place to grow, and if we give the mosquitos canals and such, they will have places that are much more hospitable than the wetlands. Even with poisons we cannot match what could occur naturally.
