[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4197670, member: 18225"] We’re probably agreeing. I’ll just say that if no lead at all is the goal, and ‘we’ (the royal ‘we’) agree that 15ppb is the lower level, then it’s clear that 15ppb is an arrived arbitrary number, influenced not by science, but by the lowest limits industry would agree to. Happens all the time. Industry knew that lead paint and leaded gas was toxic, took fifty years to take lead out of gas and paint. This is the problem with Milton Friedman; pure capitalism often doesn’t fix the problems, especially when the money-men have their full weight on the lobbyist scale. Plus, ‘white-flight’ to the suburbs, leaving the red-lined black children in substandard housing and schools, leading to a higher concentration of lead in black kids, leading to a variety of their problems in schools, leading right up to Nixons’ War on Drugs, leading right up to the CIA flooding black neighborhoods with crack... Lol, jk [/QUOTE]
