Many here should remember that the same hollow reasoning and visions of the end of the world were said about ending the use of some gasses or accelerants, used in the making of hairspray and underarm deodorants, and a number of other products. 

  The world would be overrun by the malaria mosquito, without the wide spread use of DDT, and yet here we still are,  and because we curtailed it's use, many species currently reside here, which might not have been the case hadn't we made that change.

 Not only did the world not come to an end, in many cases products preformed better and in some cases safety and  value were increased, fomenting fear isn't strictly either a Left Wing or Right Wing tool, and in this age of instant information, and the ability of most everyone to educate themselves, I constantly hope fear becomes less of a tool for change, and more of one of the items regulated to the dustbin of history.
