Just Curious about something and maybe somebody here can answer it.  Lead is
mined from the earth as the minerals PbS, PbSO4, PbCO3, and Pb3O4.  Are
these minerals any less harmful than the pure metal if the lead content is
considered on a 1 to 1 basis?

Has anyone calculated the volume of lead expended in all the battles in
Europe
in just the last two world wars?  Should the US as the arsenal of democracy
be
held liable for the manufacture of all those tons of bullets that are lying
about?  How many radios, TVs, or other modern electronic goodies equal the
tons
already on or in the ground.

Lets just get on with it.  Lets all hold our nose and make progress
regardless
of the political insanity.  That seems to be beyond all our control on both
sides of the Atlantic.  The faster we move on no lead manufacturing the less
crisis management I predict will be in our future.
