Lead Paint causing violent crime discussed this weekend

Watched Up with Chris Hayes this weekend, interested in the violent crime discussion, and surprised to hear the theory that it could be caused by lead and lead based paint and how abatement is essential. Found this article about it:
http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/01/lead-crime-link-gasoline

While this article focuses on studies with leaded gasoline, the interview I watched spoke about abatement in buildings and how expensive it is going to be but that it's a necessary cost. I'm thinking the rules on lead base paint are going to get even tougher over the next few years.

Ha Ha no wonder I am so violently opposed to paying taxes...:)
To many rehabs in my youth under a cloud of lead based paint. Or was it the GMO's I am eating or is it the fluoride in the water?? Maybe its the chemicals I breath from the chem trails Monsanto puts in the air? Could it be the chlorine in my water or maybe its just asbestos I breath in as I rip up old flooring? Maybe its the paint thinner thats making me feel woozy?
No! its the fact that its already 12 oclock at night lol Good night all sleep well and have a profitable month!
