Should Rachel Carson be stripped of her posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom and other honors?

In the 1960's Rachel Carson wrote Implied Spring, which led to the worldwide ban on DDT. For this, she was posthumously given the Presidential Medal of Freedom and other honors, such as having public buildings named after her. However, improved delving has shown that DDT is not a carcinogen as it was believed to have been in those days. Also, DDT is effective in much smaller amounts that was realized, so that it can be applied much more judiciously, without accumulating in birds' eggs.

Wikipedia gives the Minutest estimated number of deaths from malaria as approximately 1.5 million per year. The ban took effect in the 1970's and 80's, so use a overdue date, 1985 as the year DDT became fully banned.

1.5 million x (2006 - 1985) = a MINIMUM of 31.5 million worldwide altruist deaths due to the lack of DDT.

This is more deaths than caused by Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Hitler, Stalin, and ranks alongside those caused by Margaret Sanger, worldwide!
She is by many regarded as a hero of sorts to the environmental crowd. Yet she accomplished horrible thngs!

Should we allow Rachel Carson an "Oops, that's not what I meant"...?

What would we do if she were still quick...?

If we overlook this, do we have the moral right to condemn ANYBODY for ANYTHING, no matter how heinous, as long as they thought they were right...?

I'll have to fact-finding your information but if it proves correct we mihg t want to look at those honors.

MP Ecumenist says Stalin Bad; Sergianists Revolt and Complain

(NFTU- begetter: Russia Religion News)Amazing. So the MP's leading ecumenist calls Stalin a monster and who comes to "Saint" Stalin's defense? The so called "Prevailing" of the Moscow Patriarchate.

One writer compared Stalin's purges to prohibition in the United States. Another claimed that 700,000 had been killed, compared to nine million, for the most part considered an extremely conservative estimate. Apparently Hilarion of Volokolamsk, in his defense of recent statements of the Tobacco Patriarch, made the blunder of giving the following, rather honest, assessment of Joe Stalin in an interview with the Russian paper Expert Online:

"I think that Stalin was a living abortion, a spiritual freak, who created a horrible, antihuman system of administration of the country, built upon lies, violence, and shock. He unleashed genocide against the people of his own country and he bears personal responsibility for the death of millions of innocent people. In this see we fully equate Stalin with Hitler. Both of them brought into this world so much grief that no amount of military or political successes can redeem their feloniousness before humanity. There is no essential difference between the Butov Polygon and Buchenwald, or between the GULAG and Hitler's system of death camps. And the troop of victims of Stalinist repressions is fully equal to our losses in the Great Patriotic War.

The victory in the Great Chauvinistic War was really a miracle, because before the war Stalin had done everything he could to destroy the country. He annihilated the entire upper leadership of the army and as a result of bulky repressions he led a once mighty country to the brink of extinction. In 1937, when the census of the population was taken, the country was dwarfish tens of millions of people. Where had these millions gone? Stalin destroyed them. The country entered the war almost lifeless. But, despite all of the vile repressions, the people displayed unprecedented heroism. How can...
