Search for Arsenic:

Arsenic - n, an element that is known to all civilized nations to be toxic to humans in minute quantities. Science has documented madness among the effects of ingestion. In America the limit for arsenic in water has recently been raised by executive order to five times the rate allowed in other nations. Presumably Americans are immune to the effects of science. Or perhaps we may count the damage as having already been done.
