Did you grow up thinking lead pipes were no big deal too?

That "no big deal" mindset is exactly how I feel about a lot of stuff from back then. It's not just lead pipes, it's like people just accepted whatever was normal without really questioning it. I mean, we kind of just trusted that if it was common, it was probably fine.
