The dialogue on fluoridation going down in Portland right now makes me want to punch people in the neck.

Do it.  If you fight it, your blood pressure will go all sideways.  And it's a public service.

No, I won't sign your goddamn petition because I DON'T want the public to have a chance to vote on public health policy, dumbasses.

Why do you hate democracy and plain old common sense, Nigel?

Personally, I want a bunch of hipsters and po'buckers deciding these things.  I want them deciding how much water to extract from the ground, too.  And whether or not we should drill for oil in the last few untouched areas of the country.

Also, I want them deciding education policy.  Oh, yeah.

:horrormirth: I think it would be a good idea to make schools accountable to the parents rather than the state/federal government but I shudder at the idea of them dictating policy.

I can't drink coffee anymore.  :cry: I miss it.

Why not?
Uh, I fucked up my stomach one summer through irresponsible eating. I can drink and eat acidic things, I just can't drink coffee without being miserable for eight to ten hours and spending about half of that wanting to puke.

They make a pill for that.  If I don't have a Nexium in the morning, by noon I'm vomiting acid like the beasties in Aliens. 

TGRR,
Better living through chemistry
If I had trouble with more than just coffee, I'd be investigating that. But it's jut coffee. I mostly miss the taste, since I've found a replacement source of caffeine.

Early in geology's history as a science, there were people who stopped pursuing it because it contradicted the bible. I suspect they'd stop teaching it altogether (because, pfft, who needs to know about plate tectonics?).

I want to start an organization to gather signatures to petition the Federal government to take the fluoride out of all our water and fruit.

I blame light switches.  I don't know how the damn things work, but I know enough to use them in my day to day life.  Similarly, we don't need to know the details of the above topics together by in our day to day.  So we fill in the blanks with whatever pleasing sounding idiocy we can come up with.

Actually, I think it's a deliberate reaction.  Americans are so insanely polarized that we will pass any amount of insane legislation/standards just to piss the other side off.  And consequences?  What are those?  We'll just blame the other side.

Naw, that's why it gets traction.  But the idiot lies come from somewhere and must be used or else they shrivel up. And those, they come from folks for whom the world must be simple or they can't function.

Recognizing that Thomas Jefferson was both a great man and a vile fucking hypocrite is too much for folks like that.  Coming to the conclusion that evolution may just answer how god made us, but not why, is too much.

I want to point out that iron overdose is the #1 cause of death by poisoning of children under five.

Yet, not only does our government actually add iron to common foods such as flour, it's also in our water, vegetables, legumes, shellfish, and most alarmingly of all, even in our MEAT. Knowing the catastrophic consequences of iron overdose, I find it utterly unconscionable, nay, reprehensible that the government would force this poison on us through our food supply, giving us no choice but to consume it and even to feed it to our vulnerable little children!
