He was just a feckless chemist, better to blame the DuPonts, GM, and other moneyed interests who have depended on such useful idiots and the corruptability of the US government since its earliest days.

    To address both you and the person below you: he deliberately gave himself lead poisoning on national television by inhaling the concentrated vapor of leaded gasoline for over a minute. He did this not because he was ignorant of the health dangers of lead (he had already had lead poisoning TWICE BEFORE), but because he was purposefully misleading the public.

    I didn't mean to say he was innocent of anything. His crimes are well known; but they were done in service of moneyed interests who were the real decision-makers behind it all.
