Mold is the Lead of the Modern Day Empire

[Guest guest]

They say history repeats itself and historians say it is important to learn

history so we can prevent the failures of yesterday.

Look at the world of great societies, the Mayans, The Egyptians, and even

the Roman Empire. No one is sure what happened to the Mayans and Egyptians,

just that a society as they once lived seemingly ceased to exist. The Roman

empire on the other hand were so smart, they ran sewage and plumbing viaducts to

bring water in and waste out. Gosh they were smart, but little did they know

that they didn't know everything, and the clay piping brought lead in with the

water. Maybe the Titanic was a reminder of where our arrogance will take us.

Today, we are so smart, now we really do know everything, and have

simplified the building of homes and offices with sheet rock instead of all the

hours of laborious plaster, and of course since we know everything there is to

know already, something so simple could not possibly be the downfall of this

great modern society, especially with all the " Experts " testifying that mold is

safe. Society believes the experts, and those of us who have experienced the

dangerous effects are demonized as being quacks. It is the messengers that are

always removed, that is why the old saying, " Don't shoot me, I'm just the

messenger " came into play. From the Prophets of Israel to the mold warnings of

today, so I have to ask, when is society going to listen to it's own advice and

learn from history?

Didn't the Romans use lead piping as well?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pipe

" For many centuries, lead <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead> was the

favored material for water pipes, due to its malleability (this use was so

common that the word " plumbing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing> "

derives from the Latin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin> word for lead).

This was a source of lead related health problems in the years before the

health hazards of ingesting lead were fully understood; among these were

stillbirth <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillbirth> and high rates of infant

mortality <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_mortality>. Lead water pipes

were still in common use in the early 20th

century<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century>and remain in many

households. Lead-tin alloy solder was commonly used to

join copper pipes, but modern practice uses pure tin to join copper in order

to eliminate lead hazards. "

They also drank a lot of acidic wine which was often stored in lead vessels

and used pottery that often had lead in the glazes.

But I get what you are saying and I agree. Have you read this book?
