No Lead Bullets

Rev, I can't disagree with you because I don't know the science involved in the problem. However, try to convince the California condors ( I keep forgetting that California isn't normal) that it is something else that hasn't been identified that is causing them to decline.
I used to wash grease off my hands with gasoline on the farm and was more concerned about catching on fire than any other ill effect.
Lead is a lot like aliens. Everyone screams, points their finger and knows it is bad because that is what has been pounded into their beliefs for so long. Kind of like global warming.
The ice at the north pole is melting but I see Miami isn't under water yet! Maybe the calculations were a little off!
Anyhow lead is under fire no matter how we feel about it. The price had been down to $1570 a metric ton and jumped back to $1700 over the weekend. Can't wait to see the London quote tomorrow.
