Tumbleweed Hank, just tumbleweed. But then what would you expect from the two distinct groups here. One group blame the poor for being victims of the "system" the other group blame the poor because they don't fully adopt the "system".

Probably the same reason why this has not been picked up more by politicians and the mainstream media - this just doesn't fit in with anybody's agenda.

It isn't really news. This link has been talked about for many years.

It's the same basic theory for the fall of the Roman empire.

They pounded sheets of lead flat to line their aquaducts that brought water to all their big cities.

How many years, two or three? From the article it said a paper was published in an environmental journal that went pretty much unnoticed in the criminal justice field. I thought it was quite possibly the raddest thing I've learned this year. I'm surprised it hasn't gained much main streem attention. I guess if that were to happen people may begin to question all the other chemicals the pollute into the atmosphere.

This article was from almost 6 years ago. I'm sure it's not an article I'd have read back then, but an example of this idea not being new.

I remember it being talked about on NPR and reported on mainstream news, but since leaded gasoline has been mostly phased out, it's hard to demand a call to action when the action has already occurred.

I think I remember Limbaugh talking about the issue and, of course, attempting to get people to believe that the researchers were just furthering some NWO agenda. ......

I think everyone is well aware of that. What's interesting is the neurological research on lead poisoning and aggression. If this happened only in a few cities and in a few nations I would be skeptical.

Thanks for the information and link. I'm kinda disappointed in my sociology professors for never covering this topic. I'm shocked Limbaugh would say such a thing, but then again... I'm not. Blink Koo-koo!
