The JIZR is back.
My last post before I "left" is as follows...
If you were asked to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of a chemical, how serious would your consideration be? A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High decided to put this exact theory to the test. He located the chemical for his petition, "dihydrogen monoxide," and carried on. By the way, he also won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair for this petition and experiment.
Plenty of good reasons to sign the petition demanding control of this chemical, since:
1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. It is a major component in acid rain
3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. Accidental inhalation can kill you
5. It contributes to erosion
6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. 43 said yes, 6 were undecided, and only 1 knew that the chemical was "dihydrogen monoxide" also known as water. The title of his prize winning project was, "How Gullible Are We?" He feels the conclusion is obvious. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment.
I think he poses a good case... and it just goes to show how gullible people really are! ICE, this ones for you!
