  Pesticides are designed to do one thing: kill living things. That much is clear. What amazes me is that the Environmental Protection Agency just recenlty established criteria for testing pesticide poison exposure on humans.

  The NHSTA announced recently that recalled vehicles dropped 41% in 2005 but noted that these numbers do not necessarily indicate a safety trend.While 2005 saw far fewer vehicles recalled than in 2004, the number was pretty close to the total in 2003, when 19.1 million vehicles were recalled.One factor that sends recall numbers soaring is the industry practice of sharing parts among a large...
