Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment.

* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
* Contributes to soil erosion.
* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.

* Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.

What kind of laws would a liberal pass against abusing dihydrogen monoxide?
I believe this is the same DHMO on Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t that the environmentalists were eagerly siging the petition against.
