I'm sure we've all seen alcohol or illicit drug use used to further the morality tales we tell ourselves.

Lead is a lot harder to do it with because it was in water or paint.

If you want a morality tale it's the worst because it means a the perps were originally helpless victims themselves.

The worse thing I think comes from some really old chemistry books from the early 1900's I inherited. The thing from those books is educated people back when they started putting lead in paint and gasoline absolutely knew lead caused developmental brain damage.
