of course, that DDT as well as its secondary metabolites would be conveniently stored in the adipose tissue of such God-fearing good ole boys. Such intermediate-term storage in "bubba blubber" would also hasten the onset of cancer, endocrine disruption and birth defects in the aforementioned population of God-fearing (too bad they don't fear the collapse of the planetary ecosystem with the same alacrity) good ole boys. This would exert a considerable selective force against bubba genes and within a few generations, the gene-frequencies of such individuals would drop to near zero! I'm impressed!
now, if only we could devise robotic giant sea bass with a 40 lb satchel charge that detonates when the decoy is speared!
