Trisha, there's no irony.  I comment in one newspaper  --  in the city where I live.  

The difference between us is that I regard the water I drink as MY local issue, not everyone in the world's issue.  Ditto with political events in MY local government.  

I find it deeply offensive to have you and the rest of the Greek Chorus for Fluoride constantly weighing in with the same comments over and over, never identifying yourselves, and in such incredible quantity.  

Couldn't you all, just for awhile, let us discuss this issue amongst ourselves  --  with no "help" from you?
