People in the 70's were also being poisoned.
I can see why people would want to ratchet down on the rhetoric because words like "poison" make people think that someone is culpable and can be held accountable.
I'm certain that there is a class of people in this country that wouldn't want that.
- eli 8y agoIn this case I think some people are culpable and should be held responsible. In order to save money, the city made decisions that caused above-average levels of lead to be present in the drinking water. And when confronted they made false claims to reassure the public and underestimate the threat. I'm gladly, genuinely, that this will not result in a "lost generation," but there is indeed no safe level of lead exposure.
