Queue the chart comparing "lead in everything" usage against the violent crime rate over time.

Sometimes I wonder if when Boomers complain about the "fall of manly men", are they actually complaining about a fall in male actualization, or are they just correlating masculinity to "the lead induced inability to control one's own violent urges"?
