Jamestown's pearly whites
If you've been thinking that something's in the water in Jamestown, you're right. For 50 years now.
Now while some may argue that it's a secret Communist plot, Jamestown this year marks more than 50 years of continuous fluoridation of their water supply. The Centers for Disease Control and the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors awarded a certificate to the town for its service to the teeth of its water customers since 1953.
We learn more about the benefits of fluoride from an explanation of the award, which was presented to Guilford County Health Director Dr. Ramesh Krishnaraj:
"North Carolina has long been a leader in water fluoridation. In 1949, Charlotte became the first city in North Carolina to fluoridate. At that time they were the largest city in the world to fluoridate. Today, 84 percent of North Carolinians who are served by community water systems receive the benefits of fluoridated water."

I am of the firm belief that flouridation has led to the polarization of our political parties among other profound societal changes including the rise of the Dentist Class the flourishing of activists groups of normally common folks.
To wit: ABC of GC is based where?
Be an Independent like Binker, drink bottled spring water. Flouride laden water is still fine for flushing, though.
