Fluoridated Water

something i've been thinking about.

[zunshynn]

fluoride is found in rat poison.

[Fidei Defensor]

And toothpaste

And beef is found in dog food. Clearly beef is not for human consumption.

i think it was China (??) that stopped fluoridating their water because of health concerns.

[Winchester]

It wouldn't have been money, of course.

I live in a city with flouridated water. I drink the water pretty much every day and have done so for the past 15 years...I'm fine. My teeth are good. What's the problem?

[Winchester]

Perhaps there's a case for it causing mental impairment...

It's wrong to go around dumping anything in anyone's water without their consent. Maybe I'll drive up to the reservoir in the middle of the night and pour ten gallons of powdered nutritional supplements into it to make everyone "healthier." Should that be allowed?

The document I posted is actually pretty interesting if you have the time to read it.

They have to get rid of that bauxite production by-product somewhere. Is it just cheaper for them to dump it in the rivers?

I don't even know what bauxite is. But since I haven't agreed with you yet today, I will here.

There are those who might not consent to water treatment. They can go live in the wilderness. This is the problem with democracy--you people get the idea your personal opinions matter.

It's democracy alright...

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

The meaning of Franklin's quote is quite contrary to your political philosophy and more in line with Winchester's
