We all did well in school and went on the graduate from college, get advanced degress, etc. We are lawyers, teachers, psychologists, engineers, and scientists.
I imagine you also walked 10 miles to your lead-painty school in the snow.

Not sure what you're asking. Are you disputing the medical evidence of lead paint's effects on children's health, based on your anecdotal personal experience? It seems pretty clear, from what I've read and what I was always told as a kid myself, that lead paint is terrible for children's brain development.
