The Mercury obviously isn't willing to take this issue seriously and have chosen to be tools of big money to make sure their corporation can get their fair share of the advertising budget:

You're not helping, Star Witness. 'Time-out' for the both of you. Now go stand in the corner with Jenny McCarthy and that Joseph Mercola nutter. And keep your mouths SHUT.

Frankly the only money we're making off this situation is from anti-fluoride people who are making our web hits go off the charts. We (and Google ads) thank you.

Hi Mercury! I am Fern Capella of Star Witness, and I would like to thank you personally for sharing this. Although I am extremely disappointed with your "news team" and your "stance on fluoride", you are still doing your part to get our message out, and for that, you are thanked. Blessings!

Agreed.

@ Fern:

Good form. Here's to you for responding in such a nice and mature way, without resorting to name-calling or telling people to "go stand in the corner" like that one asshole did.

I apologize (I think?) for implying that you guys belong in the same category as McCarthy & Mercola, but it's just that, for the first few minutes of your song/video, I thought that it was pro-fluoridation in nature. So, yeah, we obviously have different ideas on how to go about lobbying for our cause. We're on the same team, but maybe for different reasons.

Anyway, THE REAL REASON I lashed out was because I'm very protective of Sting and Springsteen, and I'm quite passionate about keeping their music fluoride-free, be it of the anti- OR the pro- variety.

(I didn't mind what you did to that Simple Minds tune and that 'Fame' shit, though -- I always assumed that they had been fluoridated quite some time ago...)

@ Wm. Steven Humphrey

First, adblock plus (anybody else reading this that doesn't care for rewarding the Merc for inanity, check it out with your favorite search engine and install it.)

Second, thanks for clarifying that you're just trolling for ad revenue. At least you're honestly not taking water pollution issues and your endorsement process seriously.

On the whiteboards in the office do you have a leaderboard for how much trolling you can do by being insincere, burning through the trust of people who might have cared to read your periodical for its editorializing? Getting the facts so wrong also calls into question your journalism.

The Oregon DEQ union; Columbia Riverkeepers; Sierra Club; Food and Water Watch; local, state, and national (platform) Green Parties, all have official positions against this effort to dump toxic waste into our water.

Then again, your paper also endorsed Hales. I understand you've got to keep those political skids greased, but you could at least make an effort to not look bought into whatever the day's status quo and big money campaigns are.

@ human in training Wow! You're training seems to be paying off. With an issue this filled with emotion and passion people need to be real careful to keep an open mind and realize that yep, everyone has their own way of standing up to something like this. Some of us do it in more ways than one. If hard core facts do the job - great. But sometimes a little humor helps to lubricate the input valve. Wish more people could figure that out. Glad you did.
