Raise the Hammer
Nicole MacIntyre is on a roll this week. Her latest Hall Marks blog offers a glimpse into the bizarre, frightening world from which Councillor Dave Mitchell defends cosmetic pesticide use (is anyone surprised?) by, er, putting everything on the table.
Actually, his years of exposure to pesticides might explain some of Mitchell's more interesting positions on civic affairs...

I witnessed the whole putrid display on Cable 14. You forgot to mention Robert Pasuta pounding his chest: "Ooh ooh. I got my wife pregnant seven times! I'm the MAN!" What's next? Swaggering around in flight suits deciding policy based on who has the biggest package? Far be it from me to suggest that having more female politicians is some kind of panacea (cough Maria Pearson cough cough) but it could scarcely be worse.

I left this on Nicole's blog:
Mitchell's comments reveal an unsettling level of ignorance. His logic is that of the smoker that says, "My grandma smoked all her life and she lived until she was 80," or that of the person who survives a car crash without wearing a seatbelt and then advocates that no one wear one.
Good for you, Mr. Mitchell. Your semen got a clean bill of health. But what about all the people with cancers that are linked to pesticide use? Have you ever considered that your actions in spraying pesticide may have harmed people other than yourself?

Mitchell is an idiot! Pesticides kill and kill and kill and for this clown to hold a chair on council is frightening.
