#2 My work in neurotoxicity and neuropsychology was cited by US Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2016

Not a great reference

#4 Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Therefore, diminished mental capacity, neurotoxic, neurological issues isn't either. You commit the act, you pay the price. ANY other result is immoral and unjust.

#5 This argument is not likely to help many:

“Elmore was born in 1951 in central Oregon, where he lived until his teens. He was exposed to powerful neurotoxins from a young age. Elmore’s house in Oregon was located next to an airport from which crop dusters regularly sprayed pesticides. Decades after Elmore moved away, the state environmental agency took soil samples that showed toxin levels over 4,500 times the maximum amounts allowed by state law. Later, Elmore worked on cars and oil pipelines where he regularly melted lead batteries and handled solvents without gloves. And when Elmore left home at age 17 to serve in the Vietnam War, he was tasked with repairing Agent Orange pumps without protective equipment.

That kind and level of exposure ended decades ago. Nowadays it’s probably limited to illegal immigrants and some suburban lawncare workers.

#6 Scary because it could have caused it.

Side note. When is the last time you saw a salamander?

#7 I have loads of woodland salamanders in my little pocket wood in the backyard, Woodrow. They like to brumate under the flowerpots set into the ground.
