I also wish to remind you that our liberty is being violated under the 14th amendment, where our freedom to protect our own health and wellbeing is concerned. That is no small violation under the law or under any moral code of ethic. To boot, we are even being required to pay for this violation to our health with our own tax dollars. That's absurd. Only hospitalized psychiatric nutcases are willing to fund their own abuse, out of their own pocket.

 

If you are not willing to prove your claims that this spray really is non-toxic, putting your own bodies in harm's way, then you should be jailed for the mere attempt to spray entire urban areas of living, breathing, thinking and feeling human beings.

 

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves" ---William Pitt the younger, Nov. 1783

 

The 14th amendment states:

 

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

 

With best wishes and a sante, to your good health!

 

---Drina Brooke, concerned citizen, Novato CA

 

You go girl! I would like to witness these people whom assure us that they have our best interests at heart take a nice big bite or two, or three, out of a freshly sprayed piece of fruit. After all, we can trust the pesticide manufacturers to make sure their products are safe, can't we? We can't let a few mistakes such as past claims by the manufacturers of DDT and Agent Orange that these dangerous chemicals were perfectly safe dissuade us from trusting them. Therefore, I am looking forward to viewing our fearless leaders stand in the path of the spray and show us just how safe it is, but I've got a feeling these defenders of public health and safety won't be around for the show.
