Agreed and the war on lead is mythological. The metallic form has a low bio-availability and low toxicity. Water services serving millions of Americans are lead.

The attack on lead is bad science and now it is anti-American.

...the war on lead is mythological.

There have been groups pushing the EPA to ban lead wheel weights because they fall off vehicles and accumulate along roadways.

Even though lead is present around roadways, these groups (and the EPA) have been unable to demonstrate that runoff water from roadways becomes contaminated with lead.

In other words, the lead is not soluble and does not leech when sitting in pools of water for extended periods of time.

This all makes sense, scientifically, but liberals do not care about science.
