In all major US cities since the 1970's that have a river in the downtown area, the percentage concentration of dihydrogen monoxide has been increasing! We keep finding more and more of it in parts per million in our river water. At what point will someone in our government stand up for us and say this is enough?!?

The problem is that dihydrogen monoxide has thousands of industrial and commercial uses. You'd be shocked at how many product from manufacturing all the way to food processing use the stuff at some point in their process.
