The CDC must put limits on Dihydrogen Monoxide

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colourless, odorless chemical that is currently legal in our country.  While the CDC does not label DHMO as a dangerous chemical or carcinogen, it is often found in many toxic substances and is the leading constitute of many environmental hazards and biological diseases.

Ironically enough, these all have DHMO!
Today, DHMO has become one of the most abundant chemicals on our planet.  It can be found in many household cleaners, air-conditioners, cigarets, and other hazardous materials.  DHMO was even used and released into the ocean during the meltdown of the Fukishima Power plant in Japan last year.



So why is this important?  Well today, GIANT CORPORATIONS have begun to use DHMO in many of their products to lower their costs and increase their profits.  Even though it is known that DHMO is found in some of the most dangerous chemicals on Earth, it is still legal for big business to use it on us for their profits.  The use of DHMO has been so prevalent that our lakes and rivers are now been saturated with this chemical!

Other facts about DHMO:
  • often used as an industrial  coolant 
  • since the first nuclear power plant opened in America in 1959, DHMO has been increasingly been found in tumors
  • a major component of pesticides and herbicides
  • if taken on its own, it can improve the performance of athletes.
  • was found in the nazi death camps during WWII
  • is a major component of homemade bombs
  • is often found in schools, and community parks
  • found in shampoos and cough medicine
side effects include:
  1. bloating
  2. excessive sweating and urination
  3. abnormal body temperature

 It is crucial that the public learns about DHMO and takes charge to tell our government we have had enough.  Giant corporations must not have the ability to use DHMO on us in order to increase the size of their wallets.  Call your representative and ask them to ban DHMO!

Your Tax Dollars at Work - Lottery Winners Still Accepting Public Assistance

Source: (CNN)-- Amanda Clayton hit it big playing the Michigan Lottery. Like many winners, she used her $1 million prize to buy a new house.  But the Lincoln Park, Michigan, resident is receiving money in another form -- $200 a month in state food assistance, according to CNN Detroit affiliate WDIV.  "I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought, maybe, it was OK because I'm not working," Clayton, 24, told WDIV when it asked whether it was appropriate for her to receive the money. continue reading at CNN.com


This case is a perfect example of the issue surrounding  Welfare and Public Assistance in our country.  The main goal of welfare is to provide citizens with a safety net during periods of hard times and unemployment.  Citizens who lost their jobs had the opportunity to receive  welfare until they were able to regain their footing and get back to work. 


In today's day and age, the view of welfare has change dramatically.  The embarrassment of obtaining welfare has been replaced with the total reliance of it.  Welfare is no longer is seen as a program of necessity, but rather it is seen as a program that is deserved.  Many are no longer using welfare to sustain themselves until they find employment; but rather, they are using public assistance to maintain themselves, with no intention of leaving.






It is time for our nation to remind people that we must maintain ourselves and not rely on our government for our existence.  Welfare is our safety net, and we should use it as so.   This is important because the more an individual relies on their government,  the less that individual will progress.
