Actually, pdq, the flouride IS bad for you...but you got one thing wrong. It's a capitalist plot. ;-) (thar's a lotta money to be made sellin' flouride to municipalities!) Pretty well everything that happens in this society is a capitalist plot, come to think of it.... So who needs commies to totally screw things up? Not us! We kin do it all by our lonesomes, by gum! Ka-ching! (cash register)
