I'm reminded of a theory regarding why the Roman empire fell. This particular scientist theorized that because the Romans began using lots of lead in everything from cooking to jewlery, much of the high society contracted lead poisoning. Lead poisoning causes brain damage that can affect decision making abilities and judgement. This lead to the degradation of all aspects of society, from being morally bankrupt (i.e pedophilia, orgies, incest etc.) to just plane poor decision making.

I wonder if what we are witnessing now is the modern day equivalent of the Roman lead poisoning theory. Except for us, the dumbing down of our nation is caused by fat living complacency.
