CONTAMINATION WARNING! Recently, it has been discovered that our water system has been contaminated with a hazardous chemical. This chemical is colorless, odorless, tasteless and dissolves completely in water. No action has been taken regarding this dangerous contamination. The substance is dihydrogen monoxide, and has the following properties: • It is used as an industrial solvent and coolant, and is used in the production of styrofoam. • It is used in many forms of animal research. • It is used in the distribution of pesticides. • It is an integral part of the operation of nuclear power plants. • It accelerates corrosion and rusting. • It contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. • Inhalation of this substance has been shown to cause death. • In certain forms, this chemical can cause severe burns, cloud the atmosphere, and may contribute to the “greenhouse effect.” It can also damage concrete and glass, as well as the surfaces of roadways. It may also be related to electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. • It may have been a factor in the destruction of the Space Shuttle “Challenger.” • It has been directly linked to thousands of deaths in third-world countries, especially those countries which do not have the resources to properly deal with the threat, or treat people who have come in contact with it. • Quantities of this substance have been found in our rivers, lakes, streams, oceans, reservoirs, and now our local water system. It has also permeated the atmosphere, and has contaminated ground water. • No current form of water purification can completely eliminate the deadly substance. • Our government has spent millions of dollars to try to control and contain this dangerous chemical. • Every day, hundreds of secret research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use. • Several government agencies are tracking the degree of contamination throughout the world. • This administration has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its “importance to the economic health of this nation.” Act now to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know CAN hurt you and others throughout the world.
