2. As a child, I lived there during that time

not in Pruitt-Igoe, but near Forest Park and the KOC building on Lindell. I am so livid over this!

6. I too lived in the jex'......

...in Cleveland. It's hard for me to tell if they drugged us with this crap too, considering all the pollution I breathed into my lungs back then -- from the foundries, the refineries and the incinerators that spewed out god-awful crap into the air every single day.

- All I know is that my childhood was one headache after the another. And the ever-present nosebleeds. Plenty of nosebleeds......

3. Human testing by our military on civilians without their knowledge and

with no follow up medical care.

They targeted the low income areas.

This is just beyond belief.

7. Unfortunately......

...it's becoming all too believable.

By Leisa Zigman I-Team Reporter

St. Louis (KSDK) - Lisa Martino-Taylor is a sociologist whose life's work has been to uncover details of the Army's ultra-secret military experiments carried out in St. Louis and other cities during the 1950s and 60s.

(snip)

The I-Team independently verified that the spraying of zinc cadmium sulfide did take place in St. Louis on thousands of unsuspecting citizens. What is unclear is whether the Army added a radioactive material to the compound as Martino-Taylor's research implies.

Army archive pictures show how the tests were done in Corpus Christi, Texas in the 1960s. In Texas, planes were used to drop the chemical. But in St. Louis, the Army placed chemical sprayers on buildings and station wagons.

9. I remember when the radium watch dial story came out when I was a kid

I must have been 10 or 12, just starting to read the newspaper for more than the comic strips and the baseball standings -- and it totally freaked me out and left me depressed for days. The women would actually lick their paintbrushes to get the bristles to a point for painting the small numbers or dots on the dials, and they took in a heavy dose of radiation as they did. Horrible, horrible story.

10. I remember these were still in shoe stores when I was a kid.....

...when literally any Tom, Dick or Harry did run them:

whenever she took me shoe shopping when I was a kid.
