Water Fluoridation and Reality Television

The last time I was visiting Utah, I spent some time listening to the radio during my morning commute.  I was surprised to listen to how many advertisments and how much programming content was centered around not getting ‘taken’ by scams.  It seems like everything I listened to from the Doug Wright show, to Clark Howard, to even the ads between were all centered around people or services being promoted as protection from scams.

So, this post is going to be a mish-mash, catch-you-up.  Sorry if it’s a little underdeveloped and hit-and-miss – it’s what you’re getting, so you’d better just be grateful!
