Do I need to start listing all the "wild conspiracy theories" that turned out to be true? Look up COINTELPRO, the Tuskegee experiments, the Iran-Contra scandal, "Freeway Ricky" Ross (not that rapper who's trying to be like him)...I could go on and on.

It is a fact that fluoride is produced as a by-product of fertilizer. It is a fact that it's expensive to dispose of normally. It is a fact that they put it in our drinking water, despite overwhelming evidence that that ingestion of that quantity of fluoride is detrimental to your health. It is also a fact that most other developed countries and some of the more progressive US states have banned it for use in tapwater.
