I wouldn't be pleased with any of your rights being taken away, even if you don't elect to use them. I wouldn't take away your rights because I have a hard time believing something. Because it isn't what I believe that matters; it's facts. Now show me any scientific studies that show a causal link with pesticides and I'll happily admit I was wrong. I believe that driving is dangerous. Shall we take away your right to drive? How do we draw the line? Based on what I believe? Do you believe that using cell phones while driving causes more accidents? Makes sense right? So let's make it illegal. Only that it turns out that it doesn't make a difference (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123084040 ). Before we take away any more rights, perhaps we could look at the facts, rather than the feelings. That’s the difference between people like you and people like me Steve.

Even if pesticides have not been proven to be unsafe, I have a hard time believing they have been proven to be safe. I am also pleased that it is winter and I don't have to weed my lawn.

I feel I could have written them. However, the false and misleading information appears to be as simple as attaching someone's name to a report who wasn't aware his name would be used. If the court challenge works, this is the equivalent of getting off on a technicality. I very much agree with your final two paragraphs. I feel I could have written them.
