DMHO: The Silent Killer!
Did you know that we're surrounded, every day, by a dangerous, potentially fatal chemical substance?

Did you know that not only the Bush Administration, but nearly every government on Earth, is refusing to deal with this deadly menace?

I didn't, until I found out the truth about Dihydrogen monoxide:

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year.

What are the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide?

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.

If you're as horrified by this invisible and yet omnipresent threat to our very lives as I am, there's only one thing to do: contact your Representative and your Senators and demand action now...before it's too late.
