Perhaps you've heard of it: a colorless, odorless
liquid; a powerful coolant
and solvent; an easily- synthesized compound which is used by industry, the
military, commercial operations, and even private individuals.
Yes, we are talking about hydrogen hydroxide,
also known as dihydrogen monoxide,
and we are here to tell you that what you've heard about DHMO is
probably not the whole truth. There are forces out there, such as the Coalition to Ban Dihydrogen
Monoxide, who would seek to legislate its use and
availability, placing
heavy limitations on it-- and eventually, eradicating it entirely.
In the interest of fairness, we invite you to see
their argument, and then we urge you to return here, to learn the truth. Their
subversive agenda must not be allowed to prevail.
Hydrogen hydroxide is beneficial!
- It has been shown that hydrogen hydroxide enhances the functionality, growth, and health of many forms of life-- including humans!-- and current research suggests that it has become an integral part of our planet's ecological balance.
Hydrogen hydroxide is environmentally safe!
- Opponents of dihydrogen monoxide would have you believe that
it is some kind of uber-toxin, that it wreaks caustic terror on anything it touches. This couldn't be farther from the truth; when handled properly, it enhances nature rather than destroys it, and even a worst-case scenario DHMO accident would be a trifle
for the natural cycles of our world to handle.
Hydrogen hydroxide is benign!
- The Coalition and others have popularized the label "dihydrogen monoxide"
over the more chemically-accurate "hydrogen hydroxide" because they know how
loaded the former name is. "Monoxide" has become synonymous with pollution,
toxic gases, industrial waste-- and while hydrogen hydroxide is sometimes a
factor in these problems facing our world today, it is rarely the dangerous
element.
Hydrogen hydroxide occurs in nature!
- To hear its naysayers' descriptions, one would think hydrogen
hydroxide was solely the product of industrial technology; that it came from
years of research in clandestine labs. This is not the case! Hydrogen
hydroxide has been a part of nature longer than we have; what gives us the
right to eliminate it?
We need hydrogen hydroxide!
Don't let an uneducated and terror-stricken mob of
fanatics railroad you into giving up your right to choose!
Support the use and distribution of hydrogen hydroxide in your neighborhood, city, state, and country!
