I like how you think. I have found substantial evidence for both sides of the fluoride argument and my opinion stems largely from a different source. The government should never be able to force chemicals into the bodies of the general populace, not because they are evil or motivated by secret societies or any other conspiracy theory, but because it should be the right of every person to control their own body regardless of whether or not the rest of society wants it. If you want fluoride in your water feel free to add it, but I don't and it should not be up to someone else to decide for me. Imagine what it feels like when you have no alternative to tap water and you literally feel like you are poisoning yourself with each glass.
