[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're about 16-17 years past the serious lead contamination in DC water. [b]I'm not kidding -- there is good evidence that discontinuing leaded gasoline was the reason for crime rates starting to go down in the 90's.[/b] That was the first generation raised post-leaded gasoline. [/quote] Crime went down everywhere at the same time it went down in DC. [/quote] And yet leader gas was banned in 1992 in CA and 1996 in the rest of the US. The first generation lead free was just barely out of kindergarten. The crime rates probably correlate with the three strikes laws of the 1990s. But they didn't solve a problem as much as create a new deferred problem that we are still suffering with today.[/quote]
