HUH? A Really, Really Dumb Idea

Ottawa Sun Online: NEWS - Pesticide ban in works. Ottawa is considering a 100% ban on pesticides on public property and, eventually, on private property. The article talks about the agony of golf courses not having pesiticides. Is this a ploy to reduce the opposition to absurdity?

The article didn't say how the city proposes to control such beasties as cockroaches, ants, termites and other bugs in schools and hospitals. Gee, we really wouldn't want to reduce the rats in surgery or the nursery, would we?
