In reply to the discussion: US: Assad responsible even if didn't order gas attack [View all]leveymg
(36,418 posts)6. This is as insane as "Dr. Strangelove"- crazy Maj. Ripper sets off WW3 to protect precious bodily
fluids. Some middling officer commanding an isolated unit starts it, so everyone else has to die winning the war. Utterly insane.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
