Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Last August as I was working as an ag inspector from northern Iowa to southern in a swath in the middle all the way up and down. I was appalled at the amount aerial spraying that was going in thought the state in the course of three weeks solid. I saw the yellow very distinguishable planes in northern, middle and southern Iowa. The day we took for the State Fair in Des Moines, along with the thousands and thousands of other people . . . the planes were out there spraying. It's the weirdest thing to see them preform their duties in the air while you are driving. . instead of entertainment, I felt like I wanted to shoot them down. . . (not have the pilot hurt of course). . . but the idea of this happening right in front of me, and driving through that stuff was the most helpless feeling I've ever had. . . . why is this still allowed. . . . thank the universe for the HEPA air filter in my car, it only does so much but better than nothing. Thinking about the fact that so many outdoor activities are happening during that time the Iowa State Fair, the Meskwaki Pow Wow, the Rodeos, just to name a few things I'm aware of that time of year, I can't help but wonder and look at the number of people that were affected. How many knew? How many cared? What do you do? How do you stop it? Is it necessary? How many people went to their doctor or chiropractor with symptoms of cold or flu that mirror being poisoned in that way????? Is there a practical healthy solution? Oh I'm sure mother nature has one. . . if you know, it's time to have it happen. . . Ivy in Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
