  1. I lived in there for a while. People there are borderline retarded (probably the fluoride). Mullets are still stylish in Pinellas county!

    There’s no point to my observations, but one aspect I’d like to mention is the correlation between fluoridation and cancer rates.

  2. Ha! I lived in pinellas county last year and I think that removing the flouride is a bit too late cuz everyone I met in that county was aready INSANE!!!!

  3. They took the link down i jus went to check in on my comment and replies, THE LINK IS DOWN. Damn corrupt bastards in every newspaper in the world. I BET THEY GOT A CALL FROM THE ADA in collusion with corrupt Toxic fluoride distributors.

  4. Hell yes! I am so glad they are taking that garbage out of our water supply! This literally just made my day, knowing I don’t have to drink that junk anymore. Unfortunately, our water still smells like chlorine. One of the best things I’ve seen my county do in a long time!

  5. This is such a terrific news!!! I am in Pinellas County and I had just recently wondered if we had fluoride in our water supply. This only proves it!
    Good riddance and finally common sense prevailed.

  6. Notice the thumbs on the comments section of that article. Decent comments get the bad ratings and idiots with no proof get the good ones. Everyone needs to inform their town/city/county councils. I plan to raise some Cain with mine as soon as I get some free time.
