Judging by the article in today's Daily Times entitled, "Cries against flouride fall on deaf ears" (Written by Joel Davis), one can only assume that somebody in the Blount Republican/Developer Party will soon be making more money supplying FLUORIDE to the South Blount Utility District aginst the opinion of the MAJORITY.
According to an article which was written when this situation first started and has now been removed from the Daily Times Archives, an overwhelming percentage of those citizens directly affected DID NOT WANT THE FLUORIDE IN THEIR DRINKING WATER.
But Jerry "Fancy Pants" Cunningham knows whats best for all. Even if the health risks of fluoridated water out-weigh the benefits. One third of the children in this country have a condition known as "enamel fluorosis" (CDC).
After doing an internet search on "enamel fluorisis", I recieved 70,500 hits. Of the first 10 sites that I went to, not a single one said that ingesting "fluoride" is a healthy thing to do for our children or anybody else for that matter. This would be contrary to statements made by Jerry Cunningham. But then again, he did go to law school, was a former US Attorney and an overpriced, overhyped local divorce attorney which evidentally qualifies him for such sound medical advice. (SARCASM) LOL
In the Feb. 8 edition of the Daily Times, "Fancy Pants" Cunningham is quoted as saying "... To blame everything from athlete's foot to earache without any backup medical or dental study, other than something pulled off the internet by some unheard-of doctor is not conclusive proof."
I didn't realize that the CDC is "unheard-of" by our local government. I guess we'll all just have to stop listening to what an organization like the CDC would have to say concerning our health and start listening to Jerry Cunningham when it comes to what is a public health threat. He evidentally is a whole lot smarter than he looks and sounds and knows a hell of alot more about fluoride than the CDC in Atlanta, GA. LOL
I doubt very seriously that the CDC would make such a statement with some sort of "political agenda". I woul also have to think that the CDC would have plenty of supporting evidence unlike Mayor Fancy Pants who said that he relyed on his "friends" in the medical industry for his bogus opinion. Were these some of those "special friends", Jerry? Could these "special friends" possibly be the ones who will benfit from the added cost of fluoridating the water? I think so and as soon as I find out, I'll let everybody know who they are.
Fluoride treatments by a trained dentist are one thing but ingesting fluoride is another. My grandfather was a dentist in this county for over 25 years and not one time did he ever perform a "fluoride treatment" for a patient in which the patient ingested or swallowed the toxic substance. During a "fluoride treatment" you always "spit." There's a huge difference in this and putting it in the water for us all to swallow and poison ourselves. I drink REAL MOUNTAIN SPRING WATER anyways. With the shape that our rivers and lakes are in this county, I just don't trust the "water people" anymore.

These are some of the better sites I could find concerning this situation; none of which support Mayor Cunningham's bogus theories.
As you can see folks, the local criminals in government are still at it. This is just a nother case of local government running their industries while sitting ina public seat.
A very special thanks goes out to Linda King for having the courage to do what she does. She's a very special lady and has more backbone than anybody I have ever met in Blount County... And I'm from here. So many people that I grew up around that made themselves out to be the good guys turned into the biggest crooks. I am very ashamed of alot of locals at this point in my life. I'm just glad that the folks who raised me never bought into racketeering for their livelihood.
I now have a bumper stick on my vehicle that reads:
Blount county tennessee - the crookedest little county in south.
Sic semper tyrannis and down with fancy pants cunningham
