life imitates Dr. Strangelove

Towns question fluoride use
Some oppose the chemical's presence in water supply

Fluoride fights stretch back more than a half-century. Recent studies, though, suggest a possible link to thyroid trouble and problems for people on dialysis. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains that water fluoridation is a safe and cost-effective way to prevent tooth decay, but some scientists say questions about the long-term impact cannot be dismissed.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

All those looking for information regarding fluorination can use Germany as an example. Water was fluorenated in the GDR (East Germany) but not in the BDR (West Germany.) (The West Germans forbade it as "Zwangsmedikation" or "Forced Medication." When the BDR annexed the GDR, the fluoride was removed from the East German water. Anyone looking for a retrospective study with 16,000,000 subjects?

San Diego is one of the few major urban areas in the country without fluoridated water.

"why would anybody want it? especially liberals, I guess they really do love Big Brother intruding upon us even in our private homes forcing us to ingest a poison."

Sounds so German doesn't it: "We Forbid it!" The American equivalent, Herr Doctor, is outlawed. Welcome to America.
