True, but that doesn’t adequately describe the sequence of events.
Guy gets an IQ test, finds out he’s not up to snuff in the brain department, and then, it all clicks.
Low IQ. Poor reasoning skills. Occasionally imbibes water.
Water made him dumb!
It all makes sense. Well, it does to him, because he’s dumb. And the perfect circle of stupidity is complete.
Shades of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
This just in: Breathing large quantities of a nitrogen-oxygen mixture has a mortality rate of 100%!
EVERYONE STOP BREATHING RIGHT NOW! YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
Also: Saliva causes stomach cancer! But, only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

The Internet, that marvelous invention that lets people who once embarrassed themselves in front of a dozen people move on to embarrassing themselves in front of a million people:
I was about to top it all off with a “and guess what else? *sunlight *causes cancer!” joke, but it uh, does.
So I’m going to continue to stay inside and slather sunscreen all over myself just in case the roof caves in, narrowly missing my nude sunscreen-slathered body but exposing me to horrible, horrible, cancer-causing natural light.
I’m so white that I went past it into off-white again.
Best disconnect the light bulb in the fridge. My ginger son, the Err Apparent, bulb-burned himself quite badly searching for a soda.

It’s more accurate to say their fluoride has water added to it.
I have one takeaway from this thread: Tooth decay apparently makes you SMRT.
Seems vaguely unfair for us to criticize Republicans for doing something stupid and then ALSO criticize them for saying they have changed their mind.
Toto, I don’t think we’re in the 21st century any more.
Nah, the reasoning lends itself to mocking - “Hey! This is a great idea! We ain’t gonna make anyone serve them gays!”
“Oh, wait, we might lose the Super Bowl? Oh, golly, I don’t know what I was thinking. What a terrible idea.”
FLIP-FLOPPERS!!!
But in all seriousness, I think you have a point. Credit where credit is due, at least they changed their minds to the sane point of view.
Better to say that the balance of unscrupulous self-interest shifted, and pandering to the bigoted voters had to give way to pandering to money.
That’s almost Palin-level grammar manglage. I hurt myself just trying to parse it.
These politicians who want to label fluoridated water, do they also want to label GMO food?
To quote one of the comments on the story, “But it’s a dry stupidity.”
