杀虫剂
It is not my contention that chemical insecticides must never be used. I do contend that we have put poisonous and biologically potent chemicals indiscriminately into the hands of persons largely or wholly ignorant of their potentials for harm. We have subjected enormous numbers of people to contact with these poisons, without their consent and often without their knowledge. If the Bill of Rights contains no guarantee that a citizen shall be secure against lethal poisons distributed either by private individuals or by public officials, it is surely only because our forefathers, despite their considerable wisdom and foresight, could conceive of no such problem.
I contend, furthermore, that we have allowed these chemicals to be used with little or no advance investigation of their effect on soil, water, wildlife and man himself. Future generations are unlikely to condone our lack of prudent concern for the integrity of the natural world that supports all life.
There is still very limited awareness of the nature of the threat. This is an era of specialists, each of whom sees his own problem and is unaware of or intolerant of the larger frame into which it fits. It is also an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at whatever cost is seldom challenged. When the public protests, confronted with some obvious evidence of damaging results of pesticide applications, it is fed little tranquilizing pills of half truth. We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts. It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks that the insect controllers calculate. The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts.
我并不认为化学杀虫剂绝对不能使用。但我认为我们已经把化学毒药不加区分的至于某些人手中。但他们很大程度上或全然不了解这些毒药潜在的危害。我们已经迫使庞大数量的人接触这些毒药，却在他们不赞同和往往不知情的情况下。虽然人权法案没有保证市民不受致命毒药的危害，无论这些人是来自私人还是官员，这肯定只是因为我们的祖先，尽管他们有远见卓识却不可能想到这一个问题。
此外我主张我们已经默许少量的使用这些化学用品，并未进行在土壤中水中野生动物和人类自生影响的调查。未来几代人不大可能会原谅我们缺乏对支持我们所有生命的自然世界，完整性的慎重考虑
对于这种威胁的本质，人们的认识仍然很有限，这是一个专家的时代，每位专家只看到自己的问题，却意识不到或不顾及更大的范畴，而自己的问题只是其中一部分。这也是一个工业主宰的时代，人们不惜一切代价而赚取一美元的权利没有遭到质疑，当公众因看到一些明显的证据证明杀虫剂使用会造成破坏性后果而抗议的时候，就会被搪塞以半真半假的话使他们安静下来。我们急需结束这种虚假的宽慰话结束这种掩饰令人不愉快事实的办法。治虫者造成的风险是由公众承担的，公众必须决定是否想在目前这条路上继续走下去，而做出这决定需要充分地了解事实。
