Dupont-Pioneer paid for the inconvenience (loss of enjoyment of property) caused by dust arising from Pioneer land for a limited and specified duration. It was a nuisance suit so yours is not a minor misstatement of the facts ("for damage to people's health". There are in fact cases of Middle School kids being referred to the ER at KVMH where they were discharged without any finding of pesticide related health issues reported to the Department of Health that we know of (required by law if suspected by medical personnel in Hawaii). DOH has, in fact published a report covering this; it's not a surprise someone like you missed it. If you are going to comment here, kindly get a grip on the facts you put forward or stay on the BAB facebook page or wherever it is that gets you all confused. Don't drag the tedious falsehoods in here. Not too many people care what you feel given your mediocre grip on the details.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42442931280338993322015-08-08T10:34:41.465-10:002015-08-08T10:34:41.465-10:00Joan, While I agree that people tend to believe in...Joan, While I agree that people tend to believe in the bogey man, chem trails etc., there is huge evidence on Kauai that the use of chemicals by agribusiness is affecting people and the environment. Dupont just paid out a lawsuit for damage to peoples health from the spray and also there are confirmed cases of children sent to the hospital from Waimea elementary after a heavy spraying near the school. There is a need for regulation of pesticide/herbicide use and also the state needs to implement new regulations and testing of ag lands. We cannot ignore the reviews of new research showing the harm to bees, soil and people etc. And I feel that home gardeners, golf courses and resorts etc. should also have no or restricted use of chemicals like 2-4 D, glyphosate and the neonicotinoids. <br /><br />So to quote you in the above comment to Kulturetattoo "In general, I think pesticides and herbicides should be used as sparingly as possible, by persons who are trained in their applications, with priority given to agricultural and health and safety uses.

You don't see Joan threatening to stake out people's houses and kick their asses, and she gets tons of shit from people all the time!

Rosenstiel seems to be another one of those underemployed and under talented people who feel they are being denied the natural station and authority in life they deserve by their inferiors (those who don't agree with her). What a shame that someone whose main talent seems to be to rant doesn't get to grab the rest of us by the throat.

Specifically near Salt Pond. This may account for AG lands being unused in other places. <br />I would like to see a decline in all chemical use on Kauai from all major players in and out of the AG industry. Surely in this day and age it's a positive step. The future generations would greatly benefit. <br />If you haven't I would check out the reports mentioned above. If there is an increase, then the option might be to move in an opposite direction. kulturetattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735709754624661427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-65184855932497585182015-07-31T13:45:00.943-10:002015-07-31T13:45:00.943-10:00This comment has been removed by the author.kulturetattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735709754624661427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42481410667523372042015-07-31T13:33:42.036-10:002015-07-31T13:33:42.036-10:00Dear kulturetattoo:

If he was acting in the public interest, he would've sought to provide people with factual information, rather than continue to make stuff up to frighten people and gain media attention. He also would've taken a different, more politically collaborative approach, one that didn't create so much polarization. Heck, he might even have visited a seed farm, to educate himself about their operations, before he did anything.Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-22818429658483327862015-07-31T13:21:07.543-10:002015-07-31T13:21:07.543-10:00Chemtrails.
