Seriously.
Now, you can have some obsessive boyfriend who is threatened by his girlfriends friendships, but that is a different topic.

Is this new column being set up for a weekly analization of misogyny in our culture? If so, then I would hope for some better examples, for they are out there.

*reads "Hopefully now you'll decide to stop driving a car and get a bike for so many reasons including the amazing benefit of likely not killing anymore cats. "*

Really sucks that it wasn't the owner.
Posted by Aestro]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 20:13:14 -0700 Portland Mercury 'Quick, get me a glass of water!' Says the doctor.
Someone runs to tap and fills a glass of water and hands it to the doctor. The doctor violently slaps the glass out of the persons hand.
'Goddamit! Not tap water! The fluoridated water!'
Person runs to a bottle of fluoridated water and fumbles trying to pry the cap off.
'Hurry!!!'
'I'm trying!'
The cap explodes off releasing a vapor. Fills glass and runs to give it to the doctor. Doctor administers fluoride water into dying child's mouth. The child convulses into seizure. You'd think there'd be blood but there's not. Suddenly everything goes silent.......
'He's....dead. It's too late. Too late. I'm so sorry', declares the doctor.
Everyone in the room turns solemn. Much grieving. Much crying. Much coulda, woulda, shoulda. Slowly, people begin to leave the room. It's so sad. A tragedy, the media would say. Then....
'*cough cough*' goes the young 8 1/2 yr old on the exam table.
'Wait!' cries the doctor! I think it's working! This child will live!'.....

Harry Randall Truman (October 30, 1896 – May 18, 1980) was a resident of the U.S. state of Washington who lived on Mount St. Helens and came to brief fame in the months preceding the 1980 eruption after stubbornly refusing to leave his home. He was the owner and caretaker of Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake. The lodge was located at the south end of Spirit Lake at the foot of the mountain, and was in the danger zone at the time of the eruption.

And it doesn't fucking matter who is perpetuating it because it's total gibberish horseshit. Anyone saying otherwise is a dark scientist in a lab, and their sexual orientation or gender is immaterial. Suggesting it is a story told by straight men just brings out the mansplainers, and we need them even less than we need potentially ill-conceived jokes in an article about a real issue of misogyny.

(This message proofread by my wife, to make sure I'm not being mansplainey myself. Heavens forbid.)

Anonymous should kill herself then get a fucking car.

But she probably can't afford it with her disability check.

Suicide is the answer.

FLUORIDEGATE An American Tragedy:
How did the EPA respond?
They committed FORGERY – fabricated timecards
They committed DESTRUCTION OF EVEIDENCE – shredding documents
They committed OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE –
They conspired to cover-up the call for more research by terminating the senior toxicologist of the EPA
He took the EPA to court and won on all counts – except one, that he used the wrong pronoun. He used the word “we’d” when referring to EPA’s activities instead of “EPA”
The senior toxicologist then had to sue the EPA for HARRASSMENT – and won the case.

1. Ask for the ANSI/NSF Standard 60 Health Effects document.
2. Locate the all the toxicological studies, in that document, that are required for certification of the product to be in compliance with said document.
3. Demand a list of the original studies and all the data collected. Provide copies of the original, dated documents used to obtain and maintain NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification
4. Present them. Publish them or provide a source where everyone can see for themselves if their chemicals, medicine, or drugs are "safe and Effective".

Provide copies of the original, dated documents used to obtain and maintain NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification

obtain, for each quantity of fluoride acquired to fluoridate public drinking water supplies, a batch-specific certificate of analysis that represents the complete composition of the formulation of the undiluted raw fluoride substance, in percent or parts by weight, for each chemical and contaminant in the batch.

However, pushing bike culture onto people because your cat was accidentally hit by a car is just silly. It's tragic but you bear part of the burden of guilt.

Cats are on the list of 100 most invasive species. The Humane Society and majority of shelters will tell you to keep your cat inside, because they decimate the lil local eco-system in your backyard.

Our little sweeties are evil little pleasure killers. Science. Seriously. Keep your cats indoors if you live in a urban area.

I keep my current cat inside. Because I had an indoor/outdoor cat and she was hit by a car.
