Ah, if only this struggle for the right of all people to choose what goes into their drinking water were as dignified as a ballet. Instead it has turned into a grotesque and brutal slog through the mire of intervention in our local choice by paid shills such as Steve Slott, a Delta Dental professional troll, who regularly turns up on every article mentioning fluoride. I doubt he will ever accept the result of a ballot-decided contest, but he does pirouette well in his ballet of fluoride shilling. Perhaps he would feel differently if was determined that male dentists, through their exposure to mercury-laced amalgams, are more likely to conceive brain-damaged children, and hence should have THEIR drinking water laced with substances shown to decrease sperm motility. It's for society's good, after all, and that of the dentists, who will be less likely to father damaged children. The right of the mercury-damaged dentists to choose whether to risk conceiving in error is inconsequential. ;-)
