Oh wow! That is... Amazing.

We used tons of DHMO in the Gulf war. When we could get it anyway, =
supplies
were often short. It was the one thing that would really help clean the =
oil
smoke off the aircraft.

Now that I think of it, I remember several times where there were big
puddles of it and I just splashed right on through! When I went to my =
rack
(bed) I would not follow the recommend method of removing DHMO, and =
would
instead just hang up my pants... I was exposing everyone in the berth to
DHMO Vapor inhalation!=20

Thanks for posting that, Russell, it's a classic. I've forwarded it to a
long list of people, mostly non-technical types and "joiners of the =
cause"
along with the following post script:

"P.s. Di (2) hydrogen Mon (1) oxide (Oxygen) (or H2O) is distributed as:
Evian (Na=EFve spelled backwards), Arrowhead (para-military) and Perrier
(foreign, need I say more?) and in many other products. It is also known =
as
Water.=20

Now, if you go back and read all the claims made above, you will see =
that
they are totally true. But it is still just water.

If you didn't get it until now, I hope you are not offended, but if it
pisses you off that you were "hoodwinked" so be it. At least you will =
think
twice before you throw your weight behind laws, organizations, and =
social
change that you don't really understand. As Mark Twain said: "...it is =
like
unto many of the prayers of men, in that it asks for more than he who =
utters
it is aware of =96 except he pause and think."

I know that I, personally, have done many things, and supported many
actions, that have resulted in great damage:

This is a classic spin, and worth forwarding to any teenage (mentally) =
or
"educated" person who sees only in black and white or tends to jump at
things before they understand them."

Like my Dad always told me: "If you aren't pissing off 10% of the
population, your aren't doing anything worthwhile"
