Thanks for your reply.

Your reply shows how someone could take my wish in the wrong way, and it is of course, solely my fault.

What you are talking about is the politics of the environment and you are absolutely correct: It would be a grave error to return to the days of legal DDT, etc, etc.

What I meant when I say turn back 50 years is that the air then was cleaner, as was the water. More old growth forests still grew then. More fish were in the sea and rivers. Less sprawl, less noise, and much less environmental destruction had occurred, back then.

Today. Well, even with all the laws, things have gotten worse, haven't they? Sure, in a few places a few things have improved, but overall the environment of the 50's was far better than today.

Thanks.
