[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Flourine is a poison. In small doses, it can be good for you, as it strengthens tooth enamel. So a liberal government deliberately introduced it into water systems nationwide. Conservatives balked, saying, accurately if a bit incorrectly, "They're putting poison in the water!" Some fringe groups took flouridation as evidence of a conspiracy. I just take it as evidence of stupidity. Arsenic is a poison. In small doses, it can be good for you, and has been used as part of medicines for centuries, and is now part of a new cancer treatment with a high success rate. Noone is introducing it into any water supply, and in fact the allowable limits are reported as being far below even long-exposure danger levels. When Clinton lowered the allowable limits even further (even lower than what occurs naturally, from rock decay), Conservatives went "Hey, this is hugely expensive, (are we gonna go in and remove rocks from the whole country?) and has no proven merit. Can we at least hold off until we can determine if the supposed hazards are real?" To which the Democrats responded by saying, loudly but totally inaccurately, "They're putting poison in the water!" (More evidence of stupidity.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
