JohnRich 4 #1 March 16, 2004 News, from Aliso Viejo, Calif.:City falls victim to Internet hoax, considers banning items made with water"City officials were so concerned about the potentially dangerous properties of dihydrogen monoxide that they considered banning foam cups after they learned the chemical was used in their production. "Then they learned that dihydrogen monoxide - H2O for short - is the scientific term for water..." Full Story Here. These are the people who are running your city...

Everything political is always "the voter's fault" with you. I think that if the voter's knew before the election that these city council members didn't know what water was, then they wouldn't have been elected. The fact that there was a non-elected paralegal who misled them on the issue, and they ran with it, does not make all the voter's stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think Bush would have been elected if people realized he didn't know carbon dioxide from carbon monoxide? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would smart voters elect fools? Wouldn't be prudent. Nope - the voters must bear the responsibility for electing fools. Dihydrogen monoxide indeed!
