New push to ban dangerious chemical

New push to ban dangerous chemical,.. Dihydrogen Monoxide,

after I read the e-mail showing how a town in California was stopped in their tracks after trying to ban it I did a bit of research.. and the stuff is used every where.. no wonder corporate bosses don't want us to know about it, and it's dangers... and why it is so cheap for them to use it under our noses with out any one saying a word in outrage..

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

yuck...

after reading the site


Public efforts involving DHMO
* In 1989, Eric Lechner, Lars Norpchen and Matthew Kaufman circulated a Dihydrogen Monoxide contamination warning on the UC Santa Cruz Campus
* In 1994, Craig Jackson created a web page for the Coalition to Ban DHMO.[17] The page spread widely on the net and off, including publication as an ad in a 1995 issue of Analog Magazine.[citation needed]
* The Friends of Hydrogen Hydroxide was created by Dan Curtis Johnson, to provide evidence of 'misguided' supporters of dihydrogen monoxide. .[20]
* In 1997, Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old junior high student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho Falls, Idaho, gathered 43 votes to ban the chemical, out of 50 people surveyed among his classmates. Zohner received the first prize at Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair for analysis of the results of his survey.[4] In recognition of his experiment, journalist James K. Glassman coined the term "Zohnerism" to refer to "the use of a true fact to lead a scientifically and mathematically ignorant public to a conclusion."[21]
* In 1998, drawing inspiration from Jackon's web page and Zohner's research, Tom Way created the website DHMo_Org, including links to sites such as the Environmental Protection Agency and National Institutes of Health. Evaluating such sites can be instructive in developing critical thinking and information literacy skills.[1]
* On April 1, 1998, a member of the Australian Parliament announced a campaign to ban dihydrogen monoxide internationally.[22]
* The idea was used for a segment of an episode of the Penn & Teller show Penn & Teller, in which an actor and a camera crew gathered signatures from concerned environmentalists who wanted to ban DHMO.[23]
* In March 2004, Aliso Viejo, California almost considered banning the use of foam containers at city-sponsored events because dihydrogen monoxide is part of their production. A paralegal had asked the city council to put it on the agenda; The law was pulled from the agenda before it could come to a vote, but not before the city received a raft of bad publicity.[4]
* Several online petitions to the British prime minister on this subject have been correctly identified by the prime minister's office, and rejected.[27]
* In 2007 Jacqui Dean, New Zealand National Party MP, writing a letter to Associate Minister of Health Jim Anderton asking "Does the Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs have a view on the banning of this drug?

yet we are side tracked by the global warming hype and his chemical gets a pass... why?

That's nasty stuff, either you have to much or to little of it. Sometimes it comes in frozen form, other times it's liquid. All this chemistry talking is making me thirsty for a nice cold glass of H20. :wink:
