come on, folks: the Mid-west (Including Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and to some Illinois) is not necessarily a tea-party strong hold. These are some nice liberal highly educated states.

Yep, frogs have a very different physiology than we do, so this doesn't necessarily mean it'll happen with people. Of course, it doesn't mean it won't, either.
I'm glad of two things. One, that these effects are being discovered and exposed, so that something can be done about it (ban this stuff). Two, that no one is freaking the hell out about it. If river water was turning men into women at the rate and in the fashion these frogs were exhibiting, male to female gender reassignment therapy would involve sitting in a swamp for a while.
Studies on Atrazine and amphibians have been around for a long time, it's distressing that this chemical is not being phased out for its potential impacts on frog populations alone.
