This is really beyond debate. He almost quoted the flouride (oops I mean
fluoride - flouride is what they put in bread) talk word- for- word. Of course,
I see your point, I think... if I talk to a tinfoil-hat person long enough, he
or she would try to convince me that the government is REALLY run by the evil
corporate toothpaste-manufactoring corporations, and that storing socks in a
freezer is NOT foolish.

As you said, your post here is mostly tongue in cheek. In context, my post is
mostly pitchfork in cheek. That is, there is a CHANCE that if the military took
over Washington, and started repeatedly poking congressmen's rears with
pitchforks, then maybe the government would work with competency and
efficiency. Watching C-SPAN would also become more amusing.'

I admit it. I am fluoridated. But I drink too much coffee. My teeth probably
don't LOOK that healthy, and they are probably anxiety ridden, depressive,
hyperactive, and insomnia ridden. Of course, I realize you are referring to the
fluorinated, NON-caffeinated people with their blazing teeth. Again, I apologize
for the spelling error - I meant to refer to the fluorine compound, NOT some
derivative of wheat.

Lewis Black the comedian had something to say (I saw this on the Comedy
Channel). "Look for the water with bits of fat floating around in it. THATS the
TASTY water, right there!"
