Byron, speaking of child endangerment...I don't know what kind of la-la 
land you live in, but the world has turned on its ear to protect children 
in the past 20 years or so.  Extension cords on kitchen appliances shrink 
and shrink.  "so children can't pull them off."  Pill bottles are damned 
near impossible to open, and you say a parent should be arrested and mailed 
for child endangerment just because the parent mixes a lethal batch of crap 
and fails to prevent a child from drinking it?

Now you have convinced people on one list you know what you're talking 
about. I feel very, very sorry for those people, but obviously there was 
nothing I could do about it there.  Now you're trying to inject your poison 
into another list, and I'm not going to stand by and let you get away with 
it.

Folks, do NOT use tobacco as an insecticide.  Byron does not know what he's 
talking about.  Margaret L
