"We will not rest until this passes"

Good job, Alejandro Queral, don't rest, there's a lot more money out there to be wasted.

"The simple and reasonable case for fluoridation—which the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definitively urges for the prevention of tooth decay in children and adults—is drowning under a hailstorm of counter-arguments that look, sound, and seem rational. Except that they aren't.

And it's understandable. We're scared of junk science that we're too busy to tear apart. And we're worried about one of the things that Portlanders hold at the center of our civic identity: our water. So we rage about lobbyists and we put up signs that tell people not to do something that practically every other major city in America has done, some for decades and none with any sign of catastrophe.

Never mind that many of you who might be leaning toward "no" won't be the ones who suffer..."

Have fun jumping on newspapers and complaining about how people who don't agree with you—and list precisely and transparently why not—are rotten!

People need to get over their yards. It's grass, for fuck's sake.

Let the City hand out tax payer funded fluoride pills if you like Communism so damned much.
