Lead: The Cause of Violent Crime?
 
I'm mixed on Kevin Drum- sometimes I like his writing, sometimes he makes me mad, but this is interesting reading. I haven't read the full article on Mother Jones yet (link in the article) but the Drum piece doesn't do any political or cultural blaming; it just really seems to finger lead as one, and possibly the most likely, culprit in the upswing in crime America saw from the 1960's to the 1990's.

And there's an interesting and nice tidbit, isn't there? That crime is at its lowest level in half a century.
