IMHO water fluoridation is a CLASSIC example of Liberals’ belief that “we have to do all of the thinking for you because you’re too STOOOOOPID to do it for yourselves”.
The value of fluoride in dental health has been proven beyond question. It should be applied topically via toothpastes and application by dentists.
But our bettors apparently don’t trust us to take care of that. So they slip it into the water supply, where, taken internally, day after day, it does cause some disturbing problems.
If they could find a way to slip effective birth control into water supplies they would.
Just a few years back there was public talk of putting statin drugs in the water supply to improve public health
