I only meant that I couldn't speak about fluoride in the US because I don't live there and have no experience of it there; I can only speak about my experiences in my country, although I do see bits and pieces of news from around the world sometimes and the problems people are having.

Most people, I have found, have so much trust in the system that they will never believe there is anything wrong, let alone seek to change it. They also readily believe the fear-mongering those in power are clever enough to use in order to keep people going in any direction they desire.
