Today, the city of Portland is mailing out ballots for a special election to determine whether their water should be fluoridated. Our (hot) sister paper, The Portland Mercury, published a feature debunking the 7 sanest anti-fluoride arguments. The comment thread to this story is incredible, and I encourage you to read it. I can't wait to see how this vote turns out; if the results of the vote was based on noise in comment threads alone, I'd expect fluoridation to go down in flames.
