      <![CDATA["Assuming the city still agrees to spend $10M in 10 years, how about if we create a poor peoples' dental insurance and hand out tooth brushes and FLUORIDE toothpaste at the dollar store. "<br>
<br>
This was the argument on the No side that I found the most naive. You know how far $10 million over 10 years goes in health care, even dental health? Nothing. It's not even a fucking blip. That's the whole point of fluoride: it's incredibly cost effective.

      <![CDATA[It seems as though you went there with somewhat of an agenda to portray this particular group as wack jobs, unbalanced or at least something along those lines. I doubt they speak for everyone despite some of the odder people you encountered. Mercury, losing and getting your ass kicked sucks regardless of the situation. It is best to admit it and move on rather than hang on with annoying snark and whining

      <![CDATA["Now that fluoride has been voted down, I thought I would take a moment to tell you how much I used to enjoy reading your paper."<br>
