The negative heath effects of lead were well known in the 1910s when oil companies started adding it to gasoline. Leaded gasoline had the ability to reduce engine knocking, which was notoriously bad in the early age of automobiles. To the heartless and uncaring, the advantages were unquestionable. Unsurprisingly every major gasoline manufacturer in the world was soon adding lead to the mix.
Again, there was no debate about the effects of lead. People inside and outside the state readily agreed that it caused birth defects, retardation, learning disabilities, joint problems, poisoning and even cancer and neurological damage. Mechanics and automotive workers were particularly susceptible, and showed a much higher rates of illness. Yet trillions of gallons of leaded gasoline were put into the air decade after decade.
Atmospheric lead rates soared for over sixty years. The whole planet was literally being poisoned. There was an outcry from the public. Petition after petition was sent to no effect. The bloated socialist state could only limply hold the impotent, flaccid cock of the justice system.
Lead wasn't removed from gasoline until the 1980s, when the 40th President of the United States of America Ronald Wilson Reagan himself, after exterminating much of the communist corruption within the US government, passed a federal law that allowed EPA to enforce justice. Enforcing justice worked where regulation failed. With the new tool at its disposal, the EPA promptly banned lead from automotive gasoline and moved to ban it from all other types as well. Jet engines have no tendency to knock and do not require any lead or other anti-knock additives.
The Moral Of The Story: Statists are smoking crack when they say their idiot political system can claim the credit for reducing environmental dangers. For every success story like the Chinese toy recall, there are a thousand others that the public do not need to pay any attention as they are resolved without fuss or high expense thanks to the EPA set up by Republican President Nixon. We do not need to waste the time of Congress along with the astronomical expense of the federal bureaucracy to regulate these straightforward issues. The behind the scenes invisible hard work is already done by the EPA. Sure socialists believe we should tie a noose around our businesses, but most countries would kill to have our FDA or EPA instead of stifling their economies with pointless regulations. We need to strengthen these institutions, not create masses of arbitrary laws.
90% of the statists are sociology majors who don't even understand the complexity of what's involved. They take a collectivist, Karl Marx "trade and labour is evil, take what you need" view of the world. Also they're all bigotted towards homosexuals.
We can do better.
Do vote Ron Paul 2008.
