      You know Robespierre was the architect of "The Great Terror" in the French Revolution (and was in fact a tyrant)

      Hatters kept mercury in their mouths and spat it onto the hat they were making. And then people WORE those hats! That was where the expression, Mad as a Hatter came from. They went crazy pretty quickly. But the people who wore those hats . . . well, it must have had an effect. Imagine on a hot day sweating underneath your fancy hat. The hat soaks up the sweat. The fabric around the Mercury becomes damp.
      Not a good outcome, I fear.
      Not saying that that made him insane. It's just there are a lot of people who seemed ok when they were young, gradually got crazy as they grew older. And there were many toxins around which no one knew about.

      That's very interesting. Lot of people don't know much about the Compte de Sade who was the father of the Marquis de Sade. Well he was an anti-royalist and an amp spoken professor of republicanism for France. He said""Une revolution sociale est fonde sur un renovation mental."that means that you change society you must change the way people think. However my friend that's like having a gun. You can use that gun for good or you can use it for evil.
