America's COOLEST Small Town must need depopulating - must not bother them that the poison they will use has been banned on the other side of "the pond"

People need to learn about Glysophate (Monsanto's Round UP)
It is dangerous to the health of all living beings.

I can't imagine why spraying glyphosate makes a town any less "cool". People spray it in their yards all the time. Unless you intend on licking the roadways or sidewalks I really can't imagine why you would be concerned. The applicators must be certified and educated on various pesticides in order to be able to spray- let the professionals do their job.
