on Tues. I never heard of it before and googled it then I posted it here on DU. This is interesting timing. The guy I met said what the article says almost word for word. He REALLY believed it and also started to go into the 9/11 no airplane hitting the Pentagon conspiracy theory. I wanted to ask him his opinion on fluoridation in tap water but decided to go let it go and not start something.
