Default Beware of this! For your health!!

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
The Invisible Killer

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and
kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of
these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO,
but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue
damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive
sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling,
nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those
who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain
death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:


* it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
* it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
* inhalation can kill you
* is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major
component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness
of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer
patients.

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in
almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today.
But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even
been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of
dollars of property damage in the midwest, and other
places worldwide.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing,
produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food
products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and
nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is
still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we
cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The American government has refused to ban the production,
distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its
"importance to the economic health of this nation." In
fact, the navy and other military organizations are
conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing
multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it
during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research
facilities receive tons of it through a highly
sophisticated underground distribution network. Many
store large quantities for later use.

Damn. I wonder what we can do????






Dihydrogen monoxide = H2O = water
