I think the resistance to flouride is visceral rather than logical.

Hogwash. The case FOR fluoride is what is visceral. You can do more to prevent dental caries by consuming extra calcium as a child than by fluoridating water. The benefits of calcium to lifelong bone density are also substantial.

"Well, I ah, I, I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence."

If I recall correctly, certain areas in Texas or Oklahoma.

Then how come so many Okies are missin' their teeth?

Yeah, but aren't you most angry about the thinking behind the fluoridation of water, and how that thinking can be applied to many other areas of individuals' lifestyles and personal choices (and one day soon may be)? Isn't that what really bothers you about it -- the principle -- that it is forcing you and others to consume a substance (whether you approve or not) rather than simply providing the information and allowing you to decide for yourself?

If that's not what bothers you most about it, why not?

The real purpose of fluoride? "Expire when you retire".

I read a study where 100 baby chicks were fed a diet that included fluoridated water, and another 100 baby chicks were fed the exact same diet, except their water was unfluoridated.

At the end of the study, all 100 of the adult chickens in the non-fluoridated group were alive, and autopsies revealed zero heart disease.

In the fluoridated group, at the end of the study, over half of the 100 adult chickens were dead of heart disease, and the other half, upon performance of autopsies, revealed progressive, degenerative heart disease.

Dead chickens don't collect Social Security.

Nevada Law Considers Chemical to Fluoridate Water a Pesticide

NEVADA REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 586 - PESTICIDES; DANGEROUS CAUSTIC OR CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES NRS 586.380 Sale or distribution of certain pesticides unlawful unless colored or discolored; exemption. 1. It is unlawful for any person to distribute, sell or offer for sale within this state, or deliver for transportation or transport in intrastate commerce or between points within this state through any point outside this state, the pesticides commonly known as standard lead arsenate, basic lead arsenate, calcium arsenate, magnesium arsenate, zinc arsenate, zinc arsenite, sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate, and barium fluorosilicate, and those containing mercurial compounds, unless they have been distinctly colored or discolored as provided by the regulations adopted in accordance with the provisions of NRS 586.010 to 586.450, inclusive, or any other white powder pesticide which the director, after investigation of and after public hearing on the necessity for such action for the protection of the public health and the feasibility of the coloration or discoloration, by regulation requires to be distinctly colored or discolored, unless it has been so colored or discolored. 2. The director may exempt any pesticide to the extent that it is intended for a particular use from the coloring or discoloring required or authorized by this section if he determines that the coloring or discoloring for that use is not necessary to protect the public health.
