    Things like "we found higher concentrations of atmospheric lead in urban areas". This stands to reason as there has always been a higher density of cars in those areas. "The rates of violence for these areas was exceptionally high". Yes, it is an urban area with shoddy school systems, disconnected families which mentors criminal activity.

    I'm all about new ideas. I'm willing to listen to them, but that guy - Leonard Lopate - asked no critical questions and simply said "I'm sold" at the end. Most of what was said was correlation. The guy pushing the study says that it went beyond correlation. I'm willing to listen to more of what he has to say, but I most certainly don't buy the argument.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
