=o= Have you read the news about methyl bromide lately?
All the poor, poor farmers who don't have any alternatives
to methyl bromide, 'cause they've only been given a decade
or two to find some?

=o= Gosh, from reading the newspapers, you'd never know that
we have more organic farmers growing stuff that's allegedly
impossible to grow without methyl bromide than any other state
or country.  You'd never know that some European countries
managed to ban the stuff in the 1970s and somehow their
agricultural sectors did not collapse.

=o= What does the media know?  You can look up the California
Department of Pesticide Regulation documents yourself:

  http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/dprdocs/methbrom/mb4chg.htm

The EPA also has some information that may interest you,
though right now the links are broken (type in ".html"
where it looks for ".htm"):

  http://earth1.epa.gov/ozone/mbf/csstart.html

=o= When you're done reading this, why not fire off a letter
or two or three or four to your local papers asking them why
that can't seem to find this information?
