As you probably know, putting fluoride in our drinking water dramatically reduced tooth decay, by around 25 percent per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But as you likely also know, the initial rollout of fluoride in the 1940s and 1950s was intensely controversial.
Jesse Hicks, a science journalist who wrote a great history of the fluoride wars, told me on this week’s Future Perfect podcast that the backlash started in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, with a local gadfly named Alexander Y. Wallace who was convinced the substance was poison, and who wrote a parody song called “Goodnight, Flourine” to the tune of the folk song “Goodnight, Irene.”
From there, the conspiratorial, far-right John Birch Society became convinced that fluoride was a Communist plot; the Ku Klux Klan came out against fluoride too. “I think part of the longevity of this controversy has to do with the way it can activate so many different biases and prejudices,” Hicks told me. “As soon as you start talking about putting something in the water supply you have small or anti-government people responding very vigorously against that.”

What is your point?
Fluoride was put in the water to prevent tooth decay. Whether or not that is entirely true is irrelevant in comparison to Lithium.
Lithium is used to treat bi-polar disorder. It's a chemical that is well known to effect brain chemistry.
Vox is promoting drugging people and altering people's brain chemistry en masse, under the guise of (potentially) preventing a few suicides.

Quote:Here comes the insult, 6ixStringJack: As usual, you missed the point completely. Some people (I have examples in mind of Texans) just refuse to listen or be reasonable about fluoride. So they end up drinking only bottled water (or beer). They are the people who joined the John Birch Society, the KKK, voted for Trump, hostile toward fluoride, have rotten teeth, etc. They are exactly the kind of people that need to be drugged with lithium. Some of them (again, real Texans) have committed suicide. They were crazy and didn't know it. What they think is not actually guided by their personal values or a philosophy or a choice to live free; it is a brain malfunction. Do they sense that they are malfunctioning? Not a chance in hell, their brains are so out of order. It is why they had so many problems in life that sane people easily avoid.

Quote:
Political conservatives are happier than liberals. We proposed that this happiness gap is accounted for by specific attitude and personality differences associated with positive adjustment and mental health. In contrast, a predominant social psychological explanation of the gap is that conservatives, who are described as fearful, defensive, and low in self-esteem, will rationalize away social inequalities in order to justify the status quo (system justification). In four studies, conservatives expressed greater personal agency (e.g., personal control, responsibility), more positive outlook (e.g., optimism, self-worth), more transcendent moral beliefs (e.g., greater religiosity, greater moral clarity, less tolerance of transgressions), and a generalized belief in fairness, and these differences accounted for the happiness gap. These patterns are consistent with the positive adjustment explanation.
Keep telling yourself that, bud.
And do keep in mind in our little microcosm that is the RWED who is constantly bitching about everything over the last two years.
It certainly isn't me. Everything is copacetic here.
If you want Lithium, be my guest. I'm sure your doctor will prescribe it for you. Keep it out of my drinking water, thank you very much.

Oh, and I will thank you once again for another shining example of your own personal fascist viewpoint on the world. Underlined in your quote above.
I know you're all about freedom, until it's somebody you don't agree with. Then it's up to you to decide who should and shouldn't be on drugs.
It's no surprise that you are fan of Vox and fully support their propaganda piece that promotes drugging EVERYONE in the country en masse.

You're kidding right!?
Well, let's start with "Nancy" (I get really tickled knowing that the best nickname he could muster for Pelosi was "Nancy")
She spanked him and sent him to his room without supper - "No wall for you, young man." Then gave him permission to speak in the House Chamber.
Shutdown: Donnie baby 0 - Nancy Pelosi 2
Ann Coulter got into the festivities and called him a wimp. Embarrassing.
Fox News - boring!
By the way, where's Mitch? and where's Rush?

Trump Caves Again! Quite a habit! Big Talk, a BIGGER Mouth and Little Action?
And despite tweets, speeches, more tweets and still more tweets conflated to equal governance, and enabled by the lack of an AG for TWO fking plus YEARS!!!!,, Trump still expects the Dems to experience an epi[phany - unlike the feckless Congressional RINOS. Trump is a feckless poser.
Well, nothing to see here. I guess trump had a good week. I wonder if he will
submit an executive order. He should definitely keep listening to Steve Miller and company, because, so far, they are knocking it out of the ballpark.

Hey Thg,
Riddle me this:
How are Trump supporters view of poll numbers and people swimming in the longest river in Egypt alike?

So... I'm wondering SGG...
Do you share Second's desire to stand behind Vox's decision to endorse and support the practice of administering Lithium en masse to every American citizen through our drinking water?
It does seem somewhat at odds with his dismissal and disdain for the working class in America for not standing up and punching their bosses to get a pay raise, doesn't it?
