> One has to wonder whether the individuals who insist on selling lead paint have any morality or sense of ethics. We've known about the harmful effects of lead additives in paint since at least 1786…it's difficult to imagine there being any possible forgiveness for such actions. The list of companies doing exactly this is very, very long. You can still buy packets of deadly carcinogens at the corner store. We’re still belching vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. We’re manufacturing all sorts of molecules that have either proven or suspected harmful effects and distributing them liberally across the globe…it’s a pervasive facet of our capitalist system.
