I think people are upset (perhaps now rigthly) that fluoride was added to public water supplies and most toothpaste. It's one thing for you to be able to seek out toothpaste. It's another for it to be pushed on everybody.

Isn't that the cost of using a public good? I might not like that the municipality cleans waste out of the water (not having it could lead to allergies, right?) or traffic lights (because what if I have to get somewhere fast in an emergency?), but that's the price I pay for living on the grid.
Finally seeing the Squidbillies episode from 2010 in real life
