@reddthat.comHah, I love seeing morons bitch about him.
If you think Chick Todd was bad, then you are pretty much a fucking idiot.
"Oooh, he didn't zing the other guy I hate, he MUST be a hack."
But, some people just love to hate. Usually I call them conservatives. But that's clearly not the case here lol.
The guy tried to keep the dialogue open and not inflammatory, but sometimes that means letting the other guy says his piece, even if it is bullshit. It's up to you, as the viewer, to make the judgement call, not the host. Unless you need to be spoonfed opinions too.
It wasn't the agent orange that was the issue. (Though that point is arguable.) But shitty industrial controls allowed dioxin to form during the manufacturing process. Dioxin was not a necessary component for agent orange to work as a defoliant, but it was something along the lines that if one part of the process was allowed to heat up too much, then Dioxin would form. Monsanto (yes, that Monsanto) reported it to the government and the military, but they all agreed to keep it a secret.
It was used more than just Vietnam too. Dioxin contaminated agent orange was used in North America as well by fire fighters clearing foliage for fire breaks.
Dioxin is one of the most toxic substances to humans known.
Houston is commonly used as an example for what NOT to do, when it comes to civil planning and development.
