So basically, they are adding a drug to the water that makes us mellow. Why?

What reason is there to add a drug to everyones water, unless you want a country of stoners that is easier to control?

One, lithium is not a drug. Two, AMERICA!

Seriously though it's a bad idea. Studies show lithium reduces impulsive actions and creativity. And while the intent is good, trying to help suicidal cases. The results are bad because not everyone is suicidal...SCIENCE FAIL!

Government conspiracists are going to have a field day with this.

WHOA WHAT? Id rather some people kill them selves then make the whole country more stupid!

From what I saw on that graph though it looks promising. From a control and order stand point its perfect. conspiracy time.

Okay let's clear some things up, for those of you too lazy to actually read the article.

1) They aren't putting it in the water already.

2) There's already a large public outcry against it.

3) It doesn't stone you..

4) It's a very small amount.

5) The article does say it reduces impulsitivity.

I think this is a good idea - but not on a nation scale. It should be available to people who either want it or need it for a treatment, perhaps prisons would have it to help control the inmates and possibly help any mental disorders they might have. However I think widespread use would be both unconstitutional and bad for the nation as a whole.

I've already read a different article on this matter. The other four points do not apply to me because I know that.

I do see a bunch of conspiracy stuff spiraling off of this. Watching American Government fail is what makes my life living.
