Another Glass Of Poison Please!

So you want to throw a fish in a bowl to decorate your room? Congratulations! But please remember to leave your tap water sitting out in an open container for a couple of days to let the poison gas emanate off of it -- you see, there is so much deadly chlorine gas in your water, that it will kill the fish if you put them in it. They put it in your water as a germicide. It completely destroys germ cells. How do you think it affects your body's cells? (I'll give you a hint -- look at how it affected your dead goldfish's cells ...)

Hey -- wanna see what fluoride does to your teeth? Check this out:

It's called fluorodosis -- basically fluoride dissolves the enamel off of your teeth. It also, as an added benefit, inhibits basic mental functions, causes headaches and visual disturbances, damages the skeletal system, causes kidney failure, weakens the immune system, and causes permanent neurological damage. Pound for pound, it's considerably more toxic than lead, ranking slightly behind arsenic ... and in most municipal water supplies, fluoride is present in much higher amounts than the levels of lead that are considered toxic.

"But my dentist says that fluoride is good for my teeth!" ... that's nice. But in fact, that rumor was started up by the Department of Energy and the chemical industry, because they were looking for a cheap way to dispose of one of the major byproducts of nuclear weapons/energy manufacturing and chemical manufacturing -- fluoride. You can read all about it here:

Fluoride, Teeth, and The Atomic Bomb

Or how about PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). You know that "new car smell" that everyone is so proud of when they get that new sporty coupe? That's actually toxic gas --dioxins -- being released from PVC. PVC -- also known as vinyl -- is one of the most heavily produced plastics in use today. It is one of the most profitable products of the chemical industry. The pipes that your fluoridated tap water flows through are made of it. Those shitty little toys that people get with fast food meals are made of it. The fact that it releases dozens of chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects doesn't matter to chemical executives. They get rich off of little kids growing teeth in their foreheads.


They don't care about you. The next person you vote into office will not change anything.

"Oh, maybe I'll just start buying organic food at the grocery store ... " Go right ahead -- but make sure you understand that foods can be labeled as "organic" as long as they only use organic pesticides. Well let's take a look at some of these healthier alternatives:

All poisons used in pesticides are rated on a scale called EIQ, or Environmental Impact Quotient. They are tested for range of toxicity, or what it is they will harm or kill. Let's say the poison doesn't harm people in anything short of beer-chugging amounts; that might merit a 2. If an ounce of the stuff in a stretch of stream kills all the fish; give it a 10. The poisons are tested for how long they stay in the soil, in plants, if they kill bees, if they kill worms, etc.

Here are some interesting EIQs:


--(source: http://www.nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/eiq/) Whoa! So those organic pesticides are actually more toxic than a lot of the "synthetic" ones. It's just like when they started making "diet" colas a few years back -- it sounds like a nice healthy decision, but in reality, they put so much fucking aspartame in there that it starts turning to formaldehyde in your bloodstream ... "organic" (at least the mass produced variety you are buying at Safeway) is just another trendy marketing buzzword that's being used to rip you off.

It always shocks me when I am told how much "healthier" people are with modern medicine and all. They are completely ignoring the fact that the occurences of vast majority of these diseases -- cancers, asthma, heart disease, autism, hundreds of others -- have skyrocketed (and are continuing to do so) since the dawn of the industrial revolution (which is also the dawn of industrial POLLUTION)

And then of course there is the fact that a large portion of that "medicine" gets dumped into the water supply, and starts building up in people's bodies whenever they take a sip of water, slowly poisoning them. Or the fact that all of these chemicals are tested on living animals and children.

Well, congratulations on your chemical manufacturing abilities -- you've proven once again how "intelligent" you are ...
