Everything is safe - within a certain concentration or dose. Everything is lethal too, even ordinary water, as long as the dosis is high enough.

Atrazine is effective but it messes with hormones, which is safe to neither humans ór frogs alike IMO. Plus, it's pretty persistant in water and soil.

It's been recently banned completely in Belgium as far as I know. France banned it too 2 years ago. It's under consideration for a European ban last time I heard.

did you hear about that asteroid that ALMOST hit us just last week? Came within 26,000 miles. And you may say oh so what thats a big distance but its NOT believe me. Thats a fraction of a hairs width on a solar system scale. And this puppy was a good sized one. 100 meters accross. No not 10 miles like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs but you take a 100 meter rock going 40,000 miles an hour and slam it into new york and see what damage you do. I think we should all collectively heave a sigh of relief over this one. And hope the next one doesnt come even closer.

Interesting how we only hear about it afterwards isn't it? It's better that way IMO, it would only cause panic otherwise. Big chunks of rock fly through the galaxy every day, sooner or later it's going to be 'bullseye'. Rather later than sooner, as far as I'm concerned.
